Who knew that kala chana (black gram) could transform into such a crispy, flavorful treat? This dosa is a delightful twist on the traditional recipe, combining the nutty richness of kala chana, the warmth of cumin, and the zest of green chilies. Packed with protein and bursting with flavors, it’s the perfect meal for any time of the day. Let’s dive into this innovative recipe!

Why Choose Kala Chana Dosa?

KALA CHANA DOSA 1
  1. Nutritional Powerhouse: Kala chana is rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making it a great addition to your diet.
  2. Unique Flavors: The combination of spices and herbs like cumin, garlic, and curry leaves adds depth to the taste.
  3. Versatility: This dosa pairs wonderfully with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or even a spicy sambar.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 cups Black gram (kala chana), soaked overnight
  • 1” piece Ginger
  • 1 cup Semolina (rava)
  • 5 leaves Curry leaves, finely chopped
  • 3 sprigs Coriander, chopped
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1/2 cup Curd
  • 2 nos Green chilies, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 cups Water
  • Oil for cooking

Step-by-Step Recipe

Step 1: Prep the Batter

  1. Soak the kala chana overnight or for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse well.
  2. Add the soaked kala chana to a blender along with ginger, garlic, cumin seeds, and green chilies. Blend to a smooth paste using a little water if necessary.
  3. Transfer the paste to a mixing bowl. Add semolina, curd, chopped curry leaves, and coriander.
  4. Gradually add water to achieve a dosa batter consistency—thick but pourable. Season with salt.
  5. Let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes to allow the semolina to soften and absorb the flavors.

Step 2: Cooking the Dosa

  1. Heat a dosa tawa (griddle) on medium heat. Once hot, grease it lightly with oil.
  2. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it into a thin circle using the back of the ladle.
  3. Drizzle a little oil around the edges and let it cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp.
  4. Flip the dosa and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve hot dosas with your favorite accompaniments like coconut chutney, mint chutney, or tomato-onion chutney.

Tips for the Perfect Kala Chana Dosa

  • Fermentation Optional: While this recipe doesn’t require fermentation, allowing the batter to sit longer can enhance its flavor.
  • Consistency Matters: Adjust the water to ensure the batter is neither too thick nor too runny.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Sprinkle some finely chopped onions, grated carrots, or green chilies over the dosa while cooking for added texture and flavor.

Kala chana dosa is more than just a recipe—it’s a nutritious, flavorful journey that turns simple ingredients into a gourmet delight. Whether you’re looking for a healthy breakfast or a wholesome dinner, this dosa fits the bill perfectly.
