Quinoa, Chana Dal and Brown Rice Dosa [Tri-grain Crepe]

Lately I have been looking for Quinoa based recipes for my little one. He is a picky eater and I have to struggle to bring him variety and yet healthy food. While surfing on net, I found this recipe here. The recipe is so easy and does not take lot of preparation. My ds loved it and so did we :)

Quinoa dosa

Ingredients:
Quinoa - 1/4 cup
Brown rice - 1/4 cup
Chana Daal [Gram Lentils]-1/4 cup
Fresh mint leaves - 1/4cup , finely chopped
Chopped onions - 1/4 cup
Green chillies - optional
Salt
Coriander powder - 1/4 tsp optional
Garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp optional

Method:
Soak the three grains in water for 4 hours. Rinse,strain and grind to get a smooth paste. Adjust the consistency to pancake like batter by adding more water. Add all the spices including salt flowed by  mint leaves and chopped onions.
Heat non-stick griddle and drizzle some vegetable oil. Pour the batter and spread it like a pancake. Cook on both sides and serve it ketchup [did it for my DS] or spicy tangy sambhar

Dosa is the famous dish in the Indian food and I like it much. I have tried it many time and its really taste good with the sambhar. It is the liquid given with that and some curd with chutney. I love that recipe you have said here and want to cook.

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm

Tips: While preparing the dough you can add some fresh petals to add beautiful pattern During baking, one of my...
