My desi cooking community brought forth an entry from my dear friend, Chitti. I'm only posting on her behalf. Besan omelette without egg is the title - sounds interesting, doesn't it?
Ingredients:
Besan flour (shanaga pindi)- 2 cups
turmeric (pasupu)- 1/2 tspn
chilli powder- 1 tspn
yogurt (curd)- half quantity of besan
salt(to taste)
water (to thin the consistency)
Green gram sprouts (green pesara sprouts)
onions (finely chopped)- 1/2 cup
lemon juice(1 tbspn)
tomatoes- 1/2 cup finely chopped
oil- 1/2 tspn
Method:
1. In a bowl, mix these ingredients to a fine paste or batter like you'd do for a dosa-----shanaga pindi, salt, turmeric (pasupu), chili powder (mirapa podi), yogurt (curd) and water.
2.Next, in another bowl mix these----Green gram sprouts, salt, onion, lemon juice (nimma rasam), tomato.
3. In a pan, put little oil and make dosa out of the besan batter and make it thin and let it fry on both sides until it becomes crisp.
4. Once you cook it both sides, put the sprouts mix on one side and fold the dosa to contain it and heat for 2 more minutes.
5. Yippee! it's ready to eat.
Thanks Chitti for this quick veggie breakfast dish. Can I call it 'Sprouts roll' for a more healthy appeal? Thanks!
