    Instant Crispy Wheat Dosa Ingredients

    Wheat Flour  - whole wheat flour is used in this recipe. Use finest flour quality of wheat flour and You may need to sieve the flour to remove any lumps. 

    Rice flour - I like to add some rice flour in the dosa batter which makes the wheat dosa crispy in texture. 

    Whole Pepper  and cumin - The aroma and flavour of black pepper are sharp and pungent. Cumin adds a subtle flavour to the dosa. 

    Onions - you can use finely chopped shallots or onions in the batter. It adds flavour and taste. 

    Optional- ingredients like green chillies, coriander leaves and curry leaves can be added for flavour and taste. 

    Tips for Extra Crispy Wheat Dosa

    Right proportion - I use 1 cup of wheat flour and ½ cup of rice flour to get the crispy texture. You can add ¼ cup of rice flour as well. 

    Batter Consistency - make the batter super thin and watery for crispy texture. Thinner the batter, crispier the dosa will be. 

    Use the right pan - you can use nonstick dosa tawa if you use that. But in my personal experience I like to use cast iron dosa tawa.

    Pouring technique - like rava dosa, it is important to pour the batter from a height to create lots of holes in the dosa. 

    Take your time - like rava dosa, wheat dosa tends to take more time to cook. So cook on medium high heat until you see the dosa getting crispy on the bottom. 

    Serve hot - wheat dosa doesn’t stay crispy for long. So it is best to make fresh and enjoy. 

    How to Make Crispy Wheat Dosa (Stepwise Pictures)

    Pre-prep

    1)Chop onions, green chillies and coriander leaves into fine pieces. You can use grated carrots as well.

    Make Batter

    2)Take wheat flour and rice flour in a bowl. Rice flour helps to get crispy texture.

    3)Now add in salt to taste.

    4)Add in black pepper. If you don't prefer whole black pepper, you can crush them slightly and use.

    5)Add in cumin seeds, onions, green chillies and coriander leaves. Mix this really well so the salt and other ingredients are evenly distributed.

    6)Add water and mix well. Make it into a smooth batter.

    8)The batter has to be thin in consistency.

    11)Once the dosa is crispy. Fold and serve.

    12)Serve with chutney.

    • Make sure you pour the batter from a height which creates lots of holes in the dosa. 
    • You can add in grated carrots, chopped coriander leaves in the dosa batter.

    wheat dosa doesn’t stay crispy for long. So it is best to make fresh and enjoy.

      i have to agree with you. it is very easy and quick. If my son asks for dosa and i do not have batter in the fridge for regular ones, i mix just a few table spoons of wheat and rice - just enough for 2 dosas 🙂
