soybean dosa recipe: healthy soybean flaxseed dosa recipe
DESCRIPTION
Soybean Dosa Recipe with Step by Step Photos – This is one healthy dosa recipe that I made with soybeans and flaxseed. This one is my original recipe and I made it because I often try to incorporate healthy ingredients in the food I prepare. You could also call it soybean pancakes, but unlike the traditional pancakes, this one is made without eggs and white flour.Most of us know that soybeans are a rich source of proteins and also a good source of vitamins like: B-group vitamins and minerals like: calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium.Flax seeds on the other hand are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and lignans which are potent cancer fighters and they also help in improving the body’s immunity. It is also rich in fibre thereby helping in relieving constipation. It is also helpful for women in maintaining the hormonal balance. I can go on and on about the health benefits of flaxseed. Wherever I can, I add flaxseeds to the recipes I prepare.Flaxseed is also beneficial for vegetarians who do not consume fish but want to partake the Omega 3 Fatty acids. I will soon be posting two recipes of flax seeds. First one is french beans rice with flaxseed and the second one is a recipe for making an eggless chocolate cake with flaxseed. Here I have used flax seeds instead of eggs. This cake is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Just think of it. You are making a cake…….. that too chocolate and rich in omega 3 fatty acids… plus its also vegetarian and can be made vegan too by using soy butter and soy milk instead of butter and milk.TRANSCRIPT

PREP TIME :9 hours 15 mins
COOK TIME :30 mins
TOTAL TIME: 9 hours 45 mins
AUTHOR: dassana
INGREDIENTS (measuring cup used, 1 cup = 250 ml)
¾ cup soyabean
2 tbsp flax seeds
3 tbsp rice flour
1 green chili
½ inch piece ginger
salt
water oil/butter or ghee for frying (use oil instead of butter or ghee if you are a vegan)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pick, wash and soak the soybeans and flaxseeds overnight in water or atleast for 8-
9 hours.
2. In the morning or after soaking them, ground both the soybeans and flaxseeds with
green chili and ginger with some ½ cup water. Add more water if the batter is too
thick and cannot be ground.
3. Grind to a smooth paste.
4. Remove the batter in a bowl and add rice flour and salt to it. Mix well and check to
see if you need to add more salt or not.
5. Heat the tava or griddle and pour a ladle full of batter on the tava. Do not try to
spread it as you cannot. Just slightly using the back of the ladle apply some
pressure. This way the batter will spread very little.
6. Drizzle some ghee or oil on the sides and top.
7. Now comes the lifting part. Just lift the dosa slighlty to check if it is browned. If yes,
then carefully lift it and turn over. Drizzle some oil on the sides and top again.
8. Flip again, when the second sides gets browned.
9. You could flip the dosa twice more to get it evenly cooked and golden browned.
10. Fry the dosas till they are evenly and properly cooked.
11. Since it takes some more time to cook one dosa, you could do with this technique.
Spread two dosas simultaneoulsy on the tava.
12. When browned from the base, turn them on the tava. Cook these two dosas as you
would cook the a single dosa on the tava.
13. Serve these yummy and healthy soyabean flaxseed dosas with cocnut chutney and
sambar. They can be had plain too.
