Brown Rice Dosa (Crepes)
Dosa is a South Indian dish, which is prepared by a
combination of rice and lentils using fermentation process. This is very good
for breakfast and even for meals; it is nutritious and does not require a lot of oil in
preparation. Dosa is famous in all over India and a most famous street food
too.
This recipe is made with brown rice instead of regular white
rice. Brown rice is rich in nutrients because it is the least processed rice
in the rice family. So preparing dosa with brown rice is a good idea to make
dosa even more nutritious. Here I am describing step by step process with
pictures of this recipe, hope you will like it.

- After this incubation time batter should be doubled in volume stir it well and now batter is ready to make dosa
Dosa Making
- To make dosa grease your nonstick pan with 1-2 drop of oil with the help of an onion top and turn the flame on at medium-high
- Now with the help of a ladle (big spoon) pour the batter in
the middle of the pan and spread it in a circular manner to make a thin crepe
- When you have spread the batter thin enough drizzle few
drops of oil all over the dosa and also in the edges after a few minutes you
will see that dosa is no longer soft and has started look cooked
