I use soy milk and tofu quite regularly, but soy beans not so much. I have tried using it but was put off by the smell. The only dish we liked was the roasted soy beans until we ate these dosas. I have wanted to incorporate it while grinding for dosa but was not sure of the measurement. Luckily I saw this recipe for soy beans dosa in Red Chillies’ blog. I soaked the rice, beans and urad daal immediately and couldn’t wait to taste them the next day.
I was in a huge surprise because the dosa was unbelievably soft and tasted great. I also prepared the potato side dish for the dosa which was delicious too. I was able to taste the soy beans very very lightly, but when you have it with a spicy side dish you can’t notice anything. This dosa batter is so versatile. I made idlis too and it was very soft and spongy. I also tried appams with the batter. These soy beans appams had a crispy exterior and soft interior.
Also you can spread the batter so thin, it’s like a tissue paper. You would have heard of Rumali (handkerchief) roti but this one is rumali dosa. So instead of preparing round dosas, I made it square to make it more appealing for my son. He loved it very much. Because each dosa uses very less batter you can really make a LOT of dosas. Also this can be a very good recipe to start dosas for small children because it’s that soft.
Thank you very much for this awesome recipe RC.

Hi Madhuram,
Great looking healthy dosas. Rumali dosa sounds an interesting twist to the dosa:)I use soya flour mixed with besan and atta add grated carrot, coconut,chopped cilantro

That’s a very interesting recipe Suparna. I’ve included soy flour to make chapathis but not dosas.

Exactly my sentiments about soy beans. I use it to make milk sometimes but I am generally put off by the smell and the heaviness – looks wise!! Yours looks good – somewhat like adai! I like that – rumali dosa:)
I made sundal once and did not like it at all. But these dosas are great.
