Broken / Cracked Wheat Dosa Recipe

Broken wheat Dosa is my Mom's Recipe which I was having from my childhood days. Those days am not much interested in this wheat dosa. But after my marriage when I prepared this Dosa on my own, I loved this Dosa very much and began to prepare frequently. Though it is a healthy Dosa recipe which is made only with whole wheat grain without any addition of rice, anybody can have this Dosa very well. 
I have heard some people will be mixing Idly batter for crispiness, but in this Dosa we cannot get that much crispiness as normal thin Rice Dosa. If rice or Idly batter is included, we cannot get the real flavour of whole wheat and the taste is lost. I prefer grinding only with Whole Wheat grain. Usually my Mom prepare this Dosa for dinner. Since it is a heavy Dosa compared to normal Dosa, she prepares at night time. As soon as the batter is grounded we can make Dosa, no need of fermentation. I love to share this recipe for my readers. 

Ingredients:

1. Broken / Cracked Wheat - 1/4 kg
2. Shallots / Small Onion - 10 nos
3. Big Onion - 1 large size
4. Red Chilli - 4 nos
5. Cumin / Jeera - 2 tsp
6. Curry Leaves - 2 sprig
7. Coriander leaves - Fistful
8. Salt as per taste

Cooking Method:

Wash the cracked wheat nicely and soak it in water for atleast 4 hours.

Grind onion, red chilli, curry leaves, jeera in a mixer grinder.

Then add the soaked wheat along with the above ingredients. Add some salt and grind to a smooth batter. Then add some water and grind once again. It becomes like a thin batter. Add the Chopped Big Onions and Chopped Corainder leaves along with the batter and mix well. 

• Check for Salt. If needed we can add at this time also. Spread the Dosa slowly with the laddle.
• (Care must be taken the dosa pan should not be too hot while spreading the Dosa. If it is too hot sprinkle some water over it and then spread the batter). Drizzle oil over the Dosa and wait for some time to cook.
• It takes more time than normal dosa.
• Flip it to other side and reduce the flame to medium. 
• Now your tasty Wheat Dosa is ready to have as such. No need of any side dishes. 

My hubby prefers coconut chutney for this Dosa. Our dinner is ready today and now we are going to have this delicious Dosa. 

Notes:

• Instead of broken wheat whole wheat can be grounded in a mixer grinder. 
• Samba Godumai can also be used for this Wheat Dosa recipe.
• You can even grind the big onions along with the wheat, so while spreading dosa's you will get smooth crispy dosa's. 
• Do not add too much water, the batter should be slightly thick.
• Care must be taken this batter must not get fermented. If some batter is left over, keep it immediately in fridge and you can use it the next day.
