When Wendy Klik announced Pancakes for Feb edition of Bread Bakers, I was quite kicked for it allowed yeast free breads as well as the Indian pancakes / crepes a.k.a Dosa. I had bookmarked a couple of Pancakes that my kids would have loved, but didn’t get to make this.
And then this Instant, no-ferment Multigrain Dosa fell into place. We are quite fond of savory stuff for breakfasts and so this got made for a rushed morning (pardon the pics, though). It goes well with any dip / chutney but delicious on its own as well. We had this with some lemon-fresh peppercorn-bittergourd pickle

Instant Multigrain Dosa – Vegan and GF too !
Prep time : 15 mins, standing time : 20 mins, Makes : 6 Dosas
Ingredients:
- Buckwheat flour – 1/4 cup
- Wholewheat flour – 1/2 cup (skip for GF and increase the buckwheat by 3 TBSP)
- Rice Flour – 1/2 cup
- Roasted Semolina – 1/4 cup (skip for GF or replace with 1/2 cup more rice flour OR replace with Rice Rava)
- Besan / Gramflour – 1 TBSP
- Jowar flour (Sorghum flour) – 3 TBSP
- Salt – to taste
- Turmeric – 1/8 tsp
- Water – approx 2 cups
- Oil – 2 tsp + as needed to fry the dosas
- Tempering : Mustard seeds 1/4 tsp, asafeotida (skip for GF), Chopped green chillies 1 tsp, Chopped cilantro / coriander leaves 2 tsp
Tempering is optional, but does enhance the flavour of the dosas
Method:
- Sift all flours, salt, turmeric thrice over in a large bowl. Add requisite water to make a flowing thinnish batter (not too thick nor too thin).
- Cover and keep for 20 mins. After 20 mins, prepare the tempering – heat 2 tsp oil, splutter mustard seeds, add chillies, cilantro and asafoetida and add to the batter. Mix well.
- Heat a skillet, Pour a ladle of the batter into a thinnish dosa/ crepe.
- Drizzle 1 tsp oil – let it cook till crispy on one side (medium heat only – this should take about 2 mins)
- Flip over, let it cook for 30 seconds and serve hot with any chutney or pickle or sauce
Notes:
- If you are not tempering the batter, then serve with some spicy sauce. With the tempering, its good to be eaten on its own or with a mild pickle / sauce.
- You wont be able to make the normal dosas by the smearing method – you need to drizzle the batter into a thinnish dosa leaving some pockets in between. Almost like a lacy crepe
- This batter cannot be stored overnight. You may simply make it 30 mins prior to eating as its an instant version

I can't wait to try these.
These sound amazing! Thanks for all of the links to more dosas too.
I'm not sure if my previous comment went through.
Those multi grain dosa look amazing — crispy and delicious. Never used buckwheat flour in dosa before — sounds interesting.
Delicious and healthy Kalyani…got all the flours so will give these dosas a try.
nothing beats a good dosa anyday!!! love this instant version! totally yumm!!!
Sounds so yummy. I will love to try it on hubby right today. Can I substitute buck wheat flour with regular flour??
I am sure I commented. This is something that we need at this point in my life. Can the buckwheat be substituted with regular wheat flour.
