Protein rich (Soya bean and horse gram) dosa..Muchkat or doddak in konkani

A healthy protein rich dosa is very good choice for kids and those people who are on protein rich diet,specially  overweight and obese people.This dosa contains horse gram and soya beans,both are rich in protein ,iron and other vitamins which is essential in our daily diet.If you really want to shed those extra pounds then start including horsegram and soyabean in your daily diet. You can prepare so many dishes like horsegram-soya bean usli,idli using soya and urad dal & horsegram. 
         This is my Bapama's(grand mom) recipe with little jo's twist.



 Ingredients:- 
Horse gram-1 cup
Rice(dosa)-2 cups
Soy bean-1/2 cup
Salt to taste

Method:-


  • Soak soy bean and Horse gram for  about 6-7 hours.
  • Soak rice for about an hour.
  • Now grind soy bean and horse gram together to fine paste till  fluffy and keep aside.
  • Grind rice to coarse paste  like  semolina/rava with little water.
  • Add rice batter to the soya-horse gram batter ,mix it well and keep it overnight  for fermenting .The batter should be little thicker then the usual dosa batter. In summer  i would suggest you to keep only for 3-4 hours for fermenting. 
How to proceed:-

1st method:-
  • Heat a thick bottom pan as shown in the picture.
  • Add 2tsp of oil put some mustard,let it crackle immediately put a ladle full batter and spread it slowly but it should be thicker then the normal dosa.
  • cook on a slow fire covering with a lid.
  • Fry on both the sides till brown and crisp. 
2nd method:-
  • Heat a non-stick dosa tava or normal iron griddle apply oil and spread the batter like we make normal dosa and fry on both the sides till crispy. Serve hot with Hinga (asafoetida)chutney or  sambar
