I heard so much about buckwheat dosa and happened to taste
it in our cousin’s place. It tasted more like wheat dosa. I decided to try it
on an Ekadasi day and bought a pack of whole buckwheat long back. But I did not
try it as I was not sure about the recipe. Two weeks back I gathered all the
courage to try it out when Prabu sadly said ‘Oh! Quinoa again for dinner?’.
Gosh! I am getting mad on thinking over new dishes everyday ;) For my surprise
dosa turned out very tasty and Prabu loved it. I am going to make it for dinner
on upcoming Ekadasi days till Prabu gets bored of it :D
I am sure we can make this on a normal day too. It’s an
healthy dosa and makes a very nice dinner option. I made tomato bhaji for the
side dish. Kids also loved the combo.
As usual I made star dosa loaded with cheese for my little mj. Next time I will add grated carrots and beetroots and shredded cabbage.
Healthy, isn’t it?
