Kuttu Dosa, also known as Vrat Dosa, is a popular fasting dish in India. It’s made from buckwheat flour and is perfect for those observing fasts during festivals or Navratri. Here’s how to make Kuttu Dosa:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup kuttu (buckwheat) flour
  • 1/4 cup water (or as needed)
  • 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • Sendha namak (rock salt), to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons ghee or oil for cooking
  • Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Dosa Batter:

  1. In a mixing bowl, add kuttu flour, chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, and a pinch of rock salt.
  2. Gradually add water while mixing until you get a smooth batter with a dosa-like consistency. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.

2. Resting the Batter:

  1. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the water and helps in making softer dosas.

3. Making the Kuttu Dosa:

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa tava over medium heat.
  2. Grease the skillet with a little ghee or oil.
  3. Pour a ladleful of the kuttu dosa batter onto the skillet.
  4. Quickly spread the batter in a circular motion to make a thin dosa. Since the batter is thicker than regular dosa batter, it might not spread as easily.
  5. Drizzle some ghee or oil around the edges and on the top of the dosa.
  6. Cook the dosa on medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Flip the dosa and cook the other side for a minute or two until it’s cooked through.

4. Serving:

  1. Serve the Kuttu Dosa hot.
  2. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired.

Tips:

  • Adjust the thickness of the dosa batter by adding water as needed.
  • Kuttu flour has a unique earthy taste, which might be different from regular dosas. Feel free to experiment with your choice of spices and herbs to enhance the flavor.
  • You can serve Kuttu Dosa with aloo sabzi (potato curry) or any fasting-friendly chutney.

Kuttu Dosa is a gluten-free and fasting-friendly dish that’s perfect for those observing vrat (fasts) during festivals. It’s quick to prepare and offers a unique taste that’s different from regular dosas. Enjoy this special dish during your fasting days!
