Barley and moongdal dosa

Barley and moong dal dosa

I just realized that its been two months I have posted anything on my blog.  A lot of experiments have happened but never got into clicking or drafting the recipe.
Anyway today I am posting the recipe of barley and moong dal dosa. As I have always said dosa is one of the easiest  way to include many good ingredients in our daily life. The recipe is very simple and is as follows

Ingredients
Barley rice- 1 cup
Moong dal- 1 cup
Salt - as required

Method
Wash and soak barley and moongdal overnight.
Grind well in the mixer in the morning or may be after a couple of hours. The barley has to soak well until softened so that it grinds well.
Add salt to the batter and make dosas as usual.


Variations: You can add  coriander, green chillies ot the batter OR you can add jeera , asoafetida and a pinch of turmeric powder and of course you can add anything to your choice, imagination and liking. I made it simple and served with a spicy tomato pickle. You may also serve with any chutney of your choice, or curry 
This batter needs no fermentation. Easy, healthy and tasty.

Oats moong dal patties

Oats moong dal patties.


Ingredients
Oats  - 1 cup
Moong dal - 1/2 cup
Eggs- 2 
Oregano , chilli flakes
Cheese cube- one  ( more if you want it more cheesy)
Salt
Poppy seeds
Olive oil


Wash the moong dal thoroughly and add in the oats to it. Break in two eggs and add the rest of the ingredients except the poppy seeds and olive oil and keep aside the mixture for about 10 minutes .Put the  poppy seeds in a flat plate.  Keep the tawa on the stove and smear a little olive oil . Make small balls from the mixture , flatten it between your palms and  roll out in the poppy seeds and keep the patties on the hot tawa. Follow the same procedure for the rest of the mixture too. Flip the patties and remove from the tawa when it is cooked. 
Serve hot


Serving suggestions
You can use this patties for burgers
Can be eaten as a healthy, fibrous dinner
Can be served with any chutney or simply with ketchup


Note : Alternatively you can bake in the oven too.
For pure vegetarians you can use water instead of eggs.


OR if you are not comfortable using oregano, chilliflakes and cheese combination, you can adopt the Indian style using turmeric powder, pepper powder, garam masala, green chillies, onion , mix and follow the same procedure.
