Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup semolina (rava) or fine oat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 3 cups water (adjust to batter consistency)

Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, rice flour, semolina (or oat flour), salt, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
- Add water gradually: Pour in 2 1/2 cups of water and whisk to a smooth, lump-free batter. Adjust with remaining water if needed.
- Rest the batter: Cover the batter and let it rest for 15–30 minutes.
- Preheat the pan: Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it.
- Spread the dosa: Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup batter onto the center of the skillet and spread into a thin circle.
- Add toppings (optional): Sprinkle with chopped onions, chilies, cilantro, or carrots.
- Cook until golden: Drizzle oil around the edges and cook until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Stack dosas on a plate, cover, and serve with chutney, sambar, or filling.
Notes
Batter consistency is key; make sure it’s pourable but not too thin. Use a hot pan for best results.
