​Dosa is a good source of protein and fiber​


Contrary to the general perception that rice and rice related foods are not good for weight loss, dosa is actually a good food to lose weight especially when you customize it in a healthy manner.


Dosa, one of the favorite breakfasts of the country, is rich in protein and fiber and keeps one full for a longer time.


Here are 4 amazing healthy dosa recipes which you need to add to your breakfast from today itself:

2/6

​Ragi Dosa​


What if we said that you can prepare lip smacking dosa using ragi? Sounds healthy, right?


Ragi is loaded with fibre and has a unique taste.


Mix ragi flour, curd, buttermilk, water and salt together. Alternatively you can add ragi flour to your regular dosa recipe and prepare it.


To this batter you can add chopped vegetables, onion, green chillies and prepare a healthier version.


Ragi dosa is prepared in the same manner as normal dosa.


3/6

​Moong dal dosa​


Moong dal dosa has one of the unique tastes among all dosa types.


If you are someone who loves having raw moong sprouts for breakfast, do try this moong dal dosa recipe.


Grind pre-soaked moong dal along with a small piece of ginger, green chillies, and a little garlic.


Keep the consistency thin. You can add grated vegetables to this.


Cook it in the same way you would cook a dosa.

4/6

​Godhuma dosa​


Ever heard about godhuma dosa? Well, this is one of the healthiest variations of dosa.


Godhuma dosa is made of wheat and consists of wheat, rice flour, and different spices.


Mix all the flours, add curd and salt and water as per required consistency. You can keep it thick and make uttapams out of it. Add grated vegetables, onion slices and green chilies to this.


Prepare it just like you prepare a dosa and cook well on both sides so that the vegetables are cooked properly.

5/6

​Neer dosa​


Neer dosa translates to water dosa and as the name is, it is the lightest form of dosa.


Soak rice for 2 hours. Wash it properly and blend it properly. Now add coconut grates to this and again blend it properly.


Make sure the batter is runny in texture. Add salt to this batter.


Grease the pan with oil and pour a ladle of the batter. Cook the dosa properly on both sides.

6/6

​Few tips​


The idea is to eat healthy foods in an interesting manner. You can customize your dosa batter as per the resources available with you.


You can add local and seasonal vegetables to this; but make sure they need to be chopped into smaller and finer pieces so that the vegetables are not undercooked while the batter is cooking.


If your dosa batter is thick and is loaded with vegetables make sure to cook it under low flame so that everything is cooked properly.
