THE IDEA TO TURN DOSA INTO WAFFLES
The idea to make this fusion recipe of dosa and waffle came to my mind out of the sheer necessity.
We love South Indian food especially all kinds of dosa in our family immensely. Someone in the family often craves hearty dosa dinner every now and then.
However making dosa at dinnertime is time consuming and tricky. You have to perfect the art of spreading it just right so that you get golden crispy restaurant style dosa.
Also, dosa needs to be cooked one by one unless you have commercial grade griddle that whips up few dosas at once.
So when we want to eat together as family dinner, it always is a problem. If you are serving one by one, one person is waiting till the next one and the dosa maker is always the last one to eat.
Secondly, dosa tastes best when served fresh. So making it ahead isn’t that good an option either..
So when I was in search of some solution to make this beloved dosa dinner experience more family friendly, an idea to make them into waffles was born..
And I am so glad it worked so beautifully. Now it’s the only way we make dosa dinners. We get 4 waffles ready, set another 4 to cook and entire family of 4 can have sit down dinner together full of dosa waffles.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE DELICIOUS WAFFLES
CAN YOU FREEZE WAFFLES?
Yes. These make-ahead homemade waffle recipe works well for freezer. Make a big batch at ones and then freeze waffles.
Let them cool down before packing. Use zip-lock freezer bags. Pull them out as many needed.
To reheat waffles, just pop them in the toaster, oven or even microwave.
HOW TO SERVE MULTIGRAIN DOSA WAFFLES IF USING IT FOR CROWD
Make a big batch of batter. Start making the waffles. Simultaneously set your Oven to “warm” setting.
Place the waffles right on the oven rack when you take them out of your waffle iron. This will keep them crispy and warm until you’re ready to enjoy.
HOW TO MAKE MULTIGRAIN DOSA BATTER?
1 cup brown rice

You can add finely chopped tomatoes, onions, carrots and other vegetables in the batter. You can spice it up using ginger garlic paste, green chilies and cilantro.
The batter should be thick but pourable, ( honey like consistency) Don’t make it very watery and runny.
