Methi Dosa - Fenugreek Dosa

Methi Dosa is a soft Dosa made with Fenugreek seeds and Rice. Methi seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients and they also keep the body cool. So this perfect for summer days.

There is no question about how appetizing a hot dosa plate can be. Especially when you have all the side dishes like coconut chutney or a spicy sambar. I am talking about Methi Dosa Recipe.

Did you know that you can pack in tons of nutrition like Iron, Calcium, and vitamins? A little known seed called Fenugreek seeds does the trick. Fenugreek Seeds a.k.a Methi in India is another powerhouse of nutrition.

A handful of these seeds is all you need to make a big difference. It is known to reduce blood cholesterol and control sugar levels. Methi dosa is one of my favorite dosa for its taste and nutrition. My mother used to make this often and I learned it from her.

As for the procedure, it is as simple as it gets although it needs 8-10 hours of prep time for the batter to ferment. Check my video in this post. Note that I only add a tablespoon of the methi seeds.

I also tried mixing in a little brown rice with the long grain rice to balance out the glycemic index. You could also try it with just the long grain rice. It is primarily the Methi seeds that bring a unique flavor and texture to the dosa. A spicy chutney or sambar goes well with this dosa.

When you let the batter ferment, be sure to store it in a warm surrounding. As the fermentation cycle complete, you will have to add salt. Be sure not to add the salt before it ferments....but I think you already knew that.
