Ingredients and Method to make Quinoa multi grain crepes (dosa)

1 cup quinoa
3/4 cup cracked wheat
1/2 cup brown basmati rice
1/2 cup white rice

salt to taste
3/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp baking soda (optional)
a few drops of sesame oil (or any other oil)

Soak quinoa, cracked wheat, brown rice and white rice together for at least 1 hour preferably 2 hours.

In batches process this soaked grains in a blender little water until it forms a soft and smooth batter. Continue until all of the grains are processed.

Add cumin seeds, salt to taste and baking soda to this batter and mix well.

Add water to adjust consistency if required. The batter should be pouring consistency but a little on the thicker side, not too runny or watery.

Heat a flat pan/ griddle/ tawa and when it heats pour a small amount of batter on the center and spread quickly into a thin circle. ( For a very crispy crepe make it very thin and for a softer crepe make the circle a little thicker)

Add a few drops of sesame oil to the side facing upwards. When the lower side turns slightly light brown, flip over and cook the other side.


Yielded about 15- 17 crepes/ dosas approximately, the yield will depend on the size and thickness of each crepe so do keep that in mind while estimating quantity required
