Carrot & Oats Dosa/Crepes is an instant dosa recipe. No fermentation required and brown rice is used to make the batter. A nutritious South Indian breakfast!
Calling all dosa lovers across the globe, this one is a keeper! Indian crepes, popularly known as Dosa is one of the most sought after breakfast in India. My favorite pastime is to come up with innovative and instant dosa recipes because I am a huge fan of this dish. If I am travelling somewhere, in just a few days I begin to crave for dosa after eating the local food there.
I am quite proud of this recipe because it cannot get any more nutritious than this! Peel the carrots and chop them roughly. Soak brown rice, oats and urad dal for 30 minutes. Strain the water and add them all to a mixer grinder along with the carrots.
Add dried red chillies, salt and asafoetida to it. Blitz to a smooth paste by adding enough water to give it a batter consistency. Now this is instant dosa, therefore you can begin to prepare the dosa immediately. Heat a non stick tawa, pour a laddle full of batter and shape it like a pancake.
Apply oil on all sides and cook both sides evenly. Serve with Amla Thokku/Chutney/Sambhar. This Instant Dosa is well-balanced, nutritious, packed with protein, vitamins and minerals.
We enjoyed this dosa for breakfast and my brother even wanted to have the same for dinner. I sent a picture of it to KR and poor guy, he was left drooling. He is geographically far away from me right now and all he is getting a taste of what’s cooking in my Cookilicious’s kitchen is through the pics I send him. I pity him and feel about our situation for now.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing a great recipe. I dont use brown rice. I have the regular raw rice that I use for making dosas. If I were to make batter with raw rice, is it ok to ferment the batter with the ground carrot?
Hi, thank you so much. Then I would suggest prepare the dosa batter as you normally would. Ferment it and then before making the dosa, add the carrot puree once the batter is fermented.
It is possible to cook and freeze the dosa? Any recommendations on an aluminum and Teflon free tawa?
You can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for a week. Never tried freezing it. Try a small batch and see. Cast iron tawa is the best. But it is difficult to clean so I use a non stick tawa. Will let you know if I come across something.
Can we use broken brown rice.. If so what’s the neasurment
Yes, You can use the same measurement at brown rice.
can we keep the left over batter in fridge???does it stay good
Yes you can. It stays fine.
What kind of oats do you use? Rolled oats?
Old fashioned regular oats.
Interesting! Can we use idly rice instead of brown rice.?
If using idli rice, you will have to ferment it. You can use regular white rice instead.
Sounds very interesting!! Will try and let you know. Happy Cooking!
These dosas look really interesting. I bet they are easy to make and tasty too
I love dosa but don’t make them very much, I need to try your recipe as it sounds so good and easy!

I’ve never tried a carrot crepe before but this looks so good. Love the orangy color crepe and the dipping sauce looks incredible. Makes me hungry now!
