Extremely rich in protein, natural fats and fibre, peanuts are a great source of nutrition for the body. Used in a variety of foods across the world such as the humble peanut butter and tahini sauce, peanuts serve up a lovely crunchy texture when added to savoury dishes and desserts alike. To make this delicious peanut dosa, take a look at Chef Meghna’s detailed recipe here:

Ingredients

*1/2 cup peanuts—mildly roasted and soaked in water
*A small knob of ginger—finely chopped
*Some green chillies— finely chopped
*Water— approximately 1 cup
*1/2 cup gram flour (besan)
*1/2 cup rice flour
*Salt as per taste
*1/2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
*1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
*Oil
*Chopped vegetables—onions, tomatoes and coriander (to add to Dosa while cooking, optional)
*Some salt and chilly powder (to sprinkle on the vegetables)

Method

*Take a mixer jar and add 1/2 cup peanuts (mildly roasted and soaked in water), finely chopped ginger, chopped green chillies and approximately 3/4th cup of water and grind to make a smooth batter.

*To the batter, add 1/2 cup gram flour (besan), 1/2 cup rice flour, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1/4th cup of water and grind again to a smooth consistency. For the dosa batter, you can use only besan or only rice flour.

*Now, heat up a pan to make the dosas. Add a little oil to the pan by wiping it with a tissue soaked in oil. Pour the dosa batter on the hot pan and spread it around with the help of a spoon.

*Add the finely chopped onions, tomatoes and coriander (optional) and sprinkle some salt and chilly powder on it.

*As it cooks, drizzle some oil around the dosa and let it remain on a medium flame.

*Flip when it turns golden-brown, cook for a while and flip again. Fold the dosa in the middle and transfer on a plate and make more with the same process.

Chef Meghna recommended serving the dish with a ‘Coconut-dahi ki chutney’. What do you think of this recipe? Let us know!
