Vegan Quinoa Oats And Lentil Dosa – A Healthy alternative to Dosa made with Quinoa, Oats and Different types of Lentils. A Perfect Crispy and Healthy Quinoa Dosa for all those who are carb conscious and trying to watch their carbs!!
Quinoa Pronounced as Keen-wah. It is a staple food for the people of Columbia. It is considered to be Superfood because of its high protein content, high in iron, magnesium.
Quinoa is versatile and can absorb any flavors when cooked. Everyone in our family loves Dosa. I tried this newer version to convert regular Dosa into much more healthier Dosa with all the healthy ingredients and got a very good success, everyone in my family loves this equally as the regular Dosa. Quinoa Dosa turned out super crispy. Very glad to share with you all this unique and creative Quinoa Dosa recipe.
Instant Quinoa Dosa Recipe with Oats and Lentils is not just healthy and crispy but are easy to make immediately after grinding the batter without fermenting. I use this same batter to make Quinoa Idli and Quinoa Dhokla. I have already shared a recipe for Quinoa Dhokla, pretty soon I will share the post for Quinoa Idli.
How to make Quinoa Oats and Lentil Dosa? What are the Ingredients used to make Quinoa Dosa?
In this Quinoa Dosa recipe, I have used Chana dal, Mong Dal, Urad dal, Toor dal and masoor dal along with Quinoa and Oats. If you don’t have or don’t want to use any of the Dal mentioned, you may simply skip it and increase the other dal quantity with same proportion. I have also added chili, ginger-chili paste and cumin seeds to enhance the taste.
Something about Super Food Quinoa.
What is Quinoa good for?
Quinoa is very nutritious and very high in proteins with all the essential Amino acids. It is very high in fiber, much higher than most grains. Plus, it is gluten-free and perfect for people with gluten intolerance. Quinoa has a low Glycemic Index, which helps in controlling blood sugar. It also helps you lose weight.
We love quinoa and try to incorporate in many different ways like Easy quinoa Cold Salad, Quinoa Khichdi, Instant Quinoa Idli, Quinoa Dhokla, Quinoa Adai, Vegan Quinoa Chili, Quinoa lettuce wrap, Quinoa with Spicy Cauliflower and many other Quinoa Breakfast recipes.
If you want to make Quick Quinoa Recipe, do give this Quinoa Black Bean Salad a try. It’s delicious and bursting with zesty flavors.
This Indian Quinoa Dosa recipe is perfect Breakfast. But you can enjoy it any time of the day, for lunch or dinner.
Best of all, Quinoa, Oats And Lentil Dosa can be made almost instantly unlike regular dosa which needs planning, grinding and fermenting one day before.

Thanks!
Thank you very much for this recipe. Made it over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it including e family.. Just that I used only urad dal as my son has allergy for other dals.

Hi! We love this dosa batter! But I can’t get them to cook
thin and crispy. What am I doing wrong?! Thanks!

Hi Supriya!

Hi Dhwani,
Will definitely give this a go. However, can I skip oats and use everything else or will that affect the taste and texture?
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Hi Rajani!
Yes, you can skip oats. It won’t change texture or taste. Let me know how it turned out once you try. 🙂
Absolutely loved the recipe. I tried it exactly like you mentioned and there was no problem with the consistency of batter or while cooking it. Thank you Dhwani.
Thanks a lot, Shabnam for feedback. 🙂
Hi,
It sure is a wholesome recipe I will definitely try it. But instead of Oats can I use thick poha in the same quantity? Please let me know.
Hi Geetika!
I have never tried with poha. But it should work fine.
Hi,
I liked the idea of adding Quinoa to dosa batter.I tried your recipe but dosa get stick to pan,doesn’t come out.what should I add more ?
Hi Jas,
Glad you liked the idea of adding quinoa. Which Pan did you use to make this dosa? Cast Iron Pan? If yes, is it seasoned well?
I would suggest you add a little bit of rice flour and see how it comes out. Hope this helps.
Thank you. This turned out delicious. This is very healthy as well. I am looking for similar healthy recipes.
Thanks, Vanitha!
Hello,
Thank you for the healthy nutritious recipe. My little one cannot eat lentils, is it possible to substitute the lentils with rice. If so, what proportion?
Thanks!
Yes, you can.
Take half cup rice and half cup quinoa.
HI! which masoor dal did u mention the recipe? i have soaked red split masoor dal as i had tat only an isgtead of urad i soaked black split urad. os ot k.? will it still taste good
Yes, red masoor dal. It will taste good. Dont worry.
I tried it today.. came out really tasty.. I also added meethi daana as well. Thanks for the delicious recipe!!! Everyone enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot Ankita! I am so glad to know that you liked this recipe. 🙂
Excellent Recipe
I tried this recipe today. It’s simply amazing. I didn’t even put oil on my pan and still it came out really nice.
I wish I could post image and show how beautiful it looks.
I used exact same pulses as mentioned in same proportions.
Question: can we make idli As well with this batter ?
Awww….. I am so happy to know this. Thanks a lot for the feedback. 🙂
Yes, you can make idli with this batter. For that, you need to ferment the batter for at least 8 to 10 hours. I hope this helps.
BTW, you can share pics on Instagram by tagging me @cookingcarnival or on our FB page wall. 🙂
This was an amazing recipe. My family just loved it and my daughter as well. I had tried Bajra dosa and that was little bitter but Quinoa dosa is far better in taste and healthy as well. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Love how flexible this recipe is. I only had quinoa, split red lentils and split green peas (and the first time I made it I forgot to put the oats in!) but it turned out tasty and crispy. It got stuck on a cast iron so I had to make it on a non stick pan but still really good. Only criticism is not the recipe but just wish there was a picture or video to show what dosa batter consistency should be for those of us who didn’t grow up with dosas. Thanks again for a great recipe!
Hi Evelyn!
Glad to know that you liked this recipe. Thank you so very much for your valuable feedback. I will soon update the post with a video to get a better idea. 🙂
