Instant Dosa (oats, cream of wheat & rice flour crepes)

Mix the following ingredients with enough water to make a thin batter:

1/2 cup instant oatmeal (plain)
1/2 cup rava (cream of wheat)
1/2 cup rice flour (regular or brown rice)
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp asafetida (hing)
1/2 tsp dry ginger powder
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 green chilli, finely sliced

Heat 2 tsp oil in a small pan. Add the following seasoning ingredients; when they splutter, pour into the batter:

1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds

Add the following to the batter:

1/2 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup chopped red onion

Let the batter rest for 10 - 15 minutes prior to making the dosas.

1. Drizzle some oil on a griddle and spread evenly, especially in the middle.
2. When the griddle is heated (drops of water should sizzle and disappear immediately when sprinkled on it), pour the dosa batter in a circle, starting outside and filling in.
3. Cook till brown, and flip to the other side; drizzle a few drops of oil around the dosa and on top when cooking.
Tip: distribute batter evenly, working quickly. It should have a lacy appearance like a crepe.
