This weeks Saturday Kitchen Recipe - Buckwheat Dosa with Bean Sprouts!
Traditional Indian Dosa recipes is made by fermenting rice and urad dhal over night.
Do not ferment this recipe as it is not a traditional dosa.
My Saturday Kitchens Buckwheat Dosa Recipe is quick and easy to cook so it is great when you are in a hurry and want that extra side dish to compliment your meal.
This recipe uses a combination of buckwheat flour and bean sprouts as they compliment each other, the flavour is nutty and wholesome and the texture is light and fluffy, you can scoop up some of your delicious curry with a dosa just as good as you could with chapatti bread.
This recipe is also gluten/wheat free and is not a starchy dish which is a great chapatti alternative. Buckwheat is very healthy for you.
Bean sprouts are also packed full of good nutrition and contain many vitamins and protein. Healthy food can be so very tasty!
When you bite into my dosa you will see that they are light and bubbly, this truly is a wonderful dish !
So let's now enter Jeena's Kitchen..... and let's get cooking !

When your buckwheat dosa looks like it has cooked and set enough to turn over use a spatula to turn it over and cook the other side.
You will notice how the dosa gets bubbles forming inside it. Cook until light and golden, you may need to turn again once or twice.

WOW jeena these look very nice, what could i use instead of bean sprouts ?
Jeena, you cook everything that is very healthy!
Love dosa and the baked bars too..it is really very easy to try out!
Lovely recipe. I make a similar recipe, but yours is much better, as you use sprouts, i just soak the ming beans and grind them. Will try it out.

That's awesome. I eat bean sprouts all the time but never made dosa with it. Got to try it soon.
Jeena,
I can buy mung beans but not the sprouts. how long do I have to soak them for? Looks yummy!
Hi Cheryl thank you for stopping by jeenaskitchen.bllogspot.com please bookmark this site as I update with new recipes daily.
To make mung bean sprouts you need to sterilize water by boiling it first. Let it cool.
Rinse your mung beans in clean water and soak them in the sterilized water over night in a dish, cover the dish and make sure there are a few little holes in the lid or use a clean dish towel cut and placed over the top with a rubber band.
Keep it in a dry, dark warm place.
The next day use sterilized water to rinse the mung beans. Soak the beans again in the same way.
Usually mung beans only take a day or two to sprout.
Make sure the beans are fully sprouted before eating and rinse first.
I would love to here how the recipe goes.
Thanks Jeena
Hi Jeena! Great nutritious recipe, I think I'll try this for my little one soon.
Just one question, can I prepare this ahead of time and let it sit/ferment overnight?
I am asking because I have never made the traditional dosa before. Would anything change?
I am super excited to try this one out! Looks great and very healthy and quick to make. I have never made dosa before and I would like to ferment this batter overnight, is it OK to do that? Or should I ferment only the mung and buckwheat mixture?
This will be useful to get some protein into my litte one :)
Hi Deepti,
This is not a traditional dosa recipe so do not ferment it. Mung beans/sprouts should never be fermented.
If you are making this recipe for your little one I would advise making a flour based pancake rather than using the sprouts.
