Sprouted wheat dosa
I have already shared an instant recipe for wheat dosa made using whole wheat flour and spices. This wheat dosa is made by sprouting the wheat and blending it with urad dal. You can serve it with any chutney, curry or gravy. Wheat is also known as atta, godhuma, godi, govu etc.
Why sprouted wheat over wheat flour? The sprouted grains enhance nutritional value and are easier to digest. Plus, it also adds unique nuttiness and sweetness to dosa
