Godhuma Dosai - Wheat flour crepes/pancakes with green chillies and ginger

Background:

Days when I have had enough of quick and easy upmas and pongals, I turn to this favorite. Easy enough to whip up and a novel change from the rice based dishes, K and I love it with a side of peanut chutney

Stuff you will need:

Wheat flour - 2 cups
Rice flour - 1 cup
Salt - 1-1/2 tsp
Asafoetida - 1 tsp
Buttermilk - 3/4 cup
Cumin seeds - 3 tsp
Black pepper - 12 nos
Water - 6 cups
Green chillies - 1 - chopped
Ginger - 1/2 inch cube - chopped
Oil to shallow fry

How to make it?

Mix all ingredients and blend well with a hand blender. Let it sit for 30 minutes. On a flat tava or pan spread a few drops of oil and then ladle out two scoops of the batter in a random fashion. The batter being watery will form unusual patterns. DO NOT try spreading like you would do a dosai. Add drops of oil along the sides and cook on medium high heat till edges brown and the surface looks cooked. Turn over using a flat spatula and let cook for a couple of minutes before transferring to a plate.

Serve hot with chutney

Makes 15 crepes

Special Notes:

Curry leaves are optional. Experiment with Wheat flour/Rice Flour proportion to make dosais softer or crispier. Rice flour makes it crispy while Wheat Flour makes it softer. To make peanut chutney roast peanuts and grind with salt, a pea sized bit of tamarind,2 read chillies and some water.
