Dosas are South Indian savory crepes traditionally prepared with fermented lentil and rice, served with Aloo Masala, Nariyal Chutney/Coconut Chutney and sambhar. Traditional rice dosas are bit heavy and full of carbs. Quinoa Oats Dosas not only makes a great meal option but also are vegan free, gluten free and suitable for diabetic people too. Quinoa is one of the best health foods and a great replacement for rice. Quinoa is rich in protein, naturally gluten free, high in fiber, beneficial antioxidants, the list is really long. Same goes with oats, rich in fiber, gluten free, source of important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Give this tried and tasted recipe a try, I am sure you are family and friends are going to love it. Eat healthy, stay healthy and Enjoy!!!

Note
- Quinoa: To make quinoa oats Dosa use white quinoa, white quinoa is best replacement for white rice.
- Storage: The left-over batter can be stored refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
- Temperature: Always remember to make perfect Dosa, the temperature of tava should be low while pouring and spreading batter. So, keep wiping tava every time before pouring and spreading batter. If the tava is too hot, the batter won’t spread easily and evenly. It will stick to the back of the spoon.
- Methi seeds: I have add 1 Tbsp of methi seeds in my recipe which equals to 3 Tsp. My family loves taste of methi but feel free to add less like 1 or 2 Tsp.
