RAVA DOSA using Broken Wheat Rava/Samba Rava

BROKEN WHEAT RAVA DOSAI

Broken wheat or cracked wheat is made by milling whole raw wheat grains coarsely. It also has all the health benefits as that of whole wheat. It helps to reduce cholesterol level and lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Regular intake of cracked wheat and whole grains, helps in weight management, thereby reducing weight.

In a 2 decades old study, researchers of Harvard Medical School found that having whole grains each morning for breakfast can lower the risk of heart failure immensely.

One cup of cooked broken wheat provides:

Most of the Children, doesn't prefer broken wheat upmas or kichadi. Considering the health facts about this broken wheat, I prepared this dosa....



INGREDIENTS:-

Broken Wheat / Sambha Rava - 1 cup

Wheat flour - 1 cup

Rice flour/Arisi maavu - 1/2 cup

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Asafoetida powder - 1/2 tsp

Green chillies - 2 chopped ( or as per taste)

Curry leaves - 2 leaflets, chopped

Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp chopped

Curd (or sour curd) - 1/2 cup

Water - to prepare the batter

Salt - to taste

Oil for making dosas



METHOD:-

In a bowl, add broken wheat, wheat flour, rice flour, cumin seeds, Asafoetida, Curry leaves, green chillies, coriander leaves and mix well. Now add curd and add water little by little to prepare a pouring consistency batter. The batter need to be in thick buttermilk cosistency.


Let it soak for 30 minutes. The broken wheat rava will absorb the water, and gives crispness to the dosas. After the specified time, check the consistency of the batter. Add more water, if required.

Now, heat a dosa tava, the tava should be hot enough, so that when we pour the batter the sshh sound will come. Keep the flame in high. Pour the batter from the sides to the center. Add some oil and cover the tava using a lid, and allow it to cook.






Check in between, to avoid burnt. The edges of the dosa gets roasted and starts to come out of the tava.







Lower the flame to medium, and slowly flip the other side of dosa to cook for 30 seconds. 

Don't cover with lid.





Crispy Broken Wheat dosas are ready to serve.

Side Dish :- Tomato Chutney or Onion Tomato Chutney or Coconut Chutney
