After the blogging marathon, I took a few days off from blogging and today I am back with Horsegram crepes.Are you thinking that this recipe is being repeated? Yes, I have posted Kollu dosai earlier.It was more like the instant variety.Today’s recipe is the one which needs time to soak, grind and ferment. I saw this in Red Chillies blog and knew I had to make this. Those of you who are regulars to my blog will know how much I like this legume.
I used:
Horsegram – 1/2 cup
Rice – 1 cup
Urad dal-1/2 cup
Channa dal – 2 tablespoons
Salt to taste
- Soak horsegram, urad dal, rice and channa dal over night.
- The next morning wash with fresh water and grind to a smooth paste using a little water.Do not add too much water as the batter will become watery.
- Remove the batter from the grinder / mixie into a vessel and mix salt and allow to ferment for 7-8 hours or till the batter doubles in volume.
- Once it is fermented, mix once again and prepare dosas on a heated griddle.
Serve with a side dish of your choice.
Store the remaining batter in the refrigerator and use within a couple of days.

the dosa looks so delicious. this is a new recipe for me.
Love horsegram dosas anytime, as like u i prepared so many dishes with this wonderful grain..
I have not made anything with kollu except sundal and sambar. This surely looks like a nice alternative.
what is kollu
Anything with horsegram and Iam game. Love this PJ, looks good.
Unique and yummy!
Looks great PJ..thank you for the entry!
After grinding kollu, the husk of the kollu remains with that batter. Please help me out how to remove that husk.. At least let me know the mistakes as I wont commit it next time. And I did only what you have mentioned here.
Nangai, the husk will remain in the batter and it can be used as such. I have been using them as such and the dosas turn out great and also very they are very healthy…
