Broken wheat dosa

Broken wheat or nurukku gothambu is wheat grains that have been coarsely broken down. It is used to make savoury items like dosa and upuma and also sweet dishes like payasam and kheer.

That's sunlight picture from Reykjavik. In the summer, they have over 21 hours of daylight. This was new for me and I used to struggle to get some shut eye in the bright nights. But in winter, there is only about 5 hours of sunlight. The long dark days sometimes used to get depressing, so we used to layer ourselves with warm clothes and get to town for a stroll or to shop or eat out.

 

You need,

Broken wheat - 1 cup

Boiled rice - 1/2 cup

Urad dal - 1/3 cup

Fenugreek (uluva) - 1 tsp

Salt - according to preferred taste

Rice powder - 1 tsp

Oil - for brushing the pan

Soak broken wheat, boiled rice and urad dal in water. Add fenugreek and salt too. Let it soak overnight. 

Grind along with rice powder to a fine paste.

Heat a non-stick pan or tawa on medium heat and brush oil. With a dosa ladle, pour a little of the batter on the pan and spread it like a pancake. Upturn after a minute and cook to get a thin, crisp dosa.
