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. Read the rest of this entry »

I love trying Indian recipes using American ingredients. Zucchini Kootu, Zucchini Pappu, Grits Adai, Grits Idli were few successful ones. To this list I can now add bulgur upma too. Many people confuse bulgur with cracked wheat. The terms are used interchangeably in many places, but they both are not the same. Broken wheat and cracked wheat are the same but not bulgur and cracked wheat. I’ve discussed it in detail in the vegetarian chili recipe. Check it out.

My grandmother used to prepare this moong dal dosa with raw rice and it was my favorite. I substitute the rice with either cracked wheat or corn grits and it tastes equally good and is healthy too. Technically this is adai I guess because it uses spices, coconut, lentils and not urad daal. Also the batter does not require fermentation. Since the batter has to be in the consistency of dosa batter, very smooth and thin, it qualifies for dosa. You would be surprised that these dosas doesn’t taste anything like wheat. Nobody can guess it’s made of cracked wheat.
