Spicy Chickpea Oat Dosa
Spicy chickpea oat dosa brings a protein-packed, gluten-free twist to the classic Indian crepe. Soak rolled oats and chickpea flour overnight for a batter that cooks into crispy, golden rounds. Serve them hot with chutney for a satisfying breakfast or snack.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
– 1 cup chickpea flour (also called besan)
– 1.5 cups water
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 tsp cumin seeds
– 1 green chili, finely chopped (remove seeds to reduce heat)
– 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
– 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
Instructions
1. Combine rolled oats, chickpea flour, and water in a blender. Blend on high for 2 minutes until completely smooth.
2. Pour the batter into a bowl. Stir in salt, cumin seeds, chopped green chili, and cilantro. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles immediately.
4. Lightly grease the pan with 1/2 tsp vegetable oil using a paper towel. Tip: A well-heated, lightly oiled pan prevents sticking and ensures even browning.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle about 7 inches in diameter.
6. Cook the dosa for 2–3 minutes until the edges lift and the surface appears dry with small holes. Tip: Do not flip too early; wait for the bottom to turn golden brown and crisp.
7. Drizzle 1/2 tsp oil around the edges. Flip the dosa carefully with a spatula.
8. Cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Tip: Adjust heat to medium if the dosa browns too quickly.
9. Transfer the cooked dosa to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly between each dosa.
Flaky and crisp with a nutty aroma from the chickpea flour, these dosas have a subtle kick from the chili. Fold them around a filling of spiced potatoes or top with avocado slices for a hearty meal. They stay crispy for hours, making them perfect for meal prep or packed lunches.
