Dosas (Indian-style Pancakes)

By: jweakman 
"Dosas are a thin, savory crepe-like Indian pancake traditionally eaten for breakfast, but I like them anytime. These are probably not very authentic as I am not Indian, but they are a tasty alternative that appeals to the typical American pancake."

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice flour

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons whole mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar

Directions

  1. Stir the brown rice and whole wheat flours together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the water to make a thin batter.
