Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Serves: 2
Ingredients:
1 cup Gourmet Staples Protein Atta
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small tomato, finely chopped
1 green chili, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Water, as needed for batter
1 tbsp oil or ghee (for cooking)
Method:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Protein Atta, onion, tomato, green chili, coriander, cumin seeds, turmeric, and salt.
2. Gradually add water and whisk to form a smooth, pourable batter — similar consistency to a dosa batter.
3. Rest the batter for 5 minutes so the protein atta absorbs the water evenly.
4. Heat a non-stick tawa on medium flame. Pour a ladle of batter and spread it into a thin, even circle.
5. Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the base turns golden and crisp.
6. Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes.
7. Serve hot with mint chutney or curd.
