Kondakadalai Dosai Recipe | Chickpeas Dosa Recipe |
Method:
- Wash and soak the chick peas in water and set it aside for 6-7 hours. Soak the rice and poha for 1 hour
- After 6 hours, drain water from chickpeas and add it to mixer. Drain water from rice and poha and add it to mixer jar
- Add red chili and grated coconut to the mixer jar
- Add few curry leaves and salt and grind everything to a nice and smooth batter like our normal dosa batter
- Set the dosa batter aside for 2 hours for fermentation. The chick peas added makes the batter ferment quickly and will keep fermenting. So its better to make dosas after 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, heat a tawa. Pour a ladle of batter and spread it to a thin dosa.
- Sprinkle little oil and cook the dosa. Flip on other side and cook the other side of the dosa.
- Remove the cooked dosa from tawa and continue making dosa with the rest of the batter

Can I make with canned chickpeas?
Is this supposed to be called adai dosai?
Just the kind of dosai you would love to taste on a lazy sunday afternoon/evening
It's very cold out here like 12deg wanted to check how much time we need to leave
Can we keep this batter in the fridge for 2-3 days?
Adding chick peas makes the batter sour within 2 hours itself. So if we keep it for couple of days, the batter will be very sour and it will not taste good.
How about making in the morning and using it for dinner? Probably 8-9 hours after grinding?
Yes we can use it. But chickpeas tend to make the batter more sour so refrigerate till you use the batter
Should we use brown kondakadalai (with skin) or white?
We have to use White
