I have seen a lot of friends posting on Quinoa dosa and wanted to try. Then I thought why not make it just like regular idli. Just like Millet Idli, I made these idli’s and we absolutely did not feel the difference. I did make dosa with the remaining batter and turned out super awesome.
To check on how to make normal idli/dosa batter, cilck here.
For millets Idli, cilck here.
For some chutney recipe, check below
- Peanuts Chutney
- Celery Chutney
- Onion Chutney/Vengaya Chutney
- Ginger Chutney/Allam Pachadi
- Coconut Chutney
- Peerkangai Thol Thugayal/Ridge Gourd Skin Peel Chutney
Ingredients:
Quinoa: 1 cup
Idli Rice : 1 cup
Urad dal : 1/2 cup
Salt : as needed
Water : as needed
Method:
- Soak quinoa, idli rice together overnight.
- Soak urad dal for 1 hr.
- Grind urad dal to fine batter, place it in a bowl. Use little water to grind. Do not make it watery.
- Grind the quinoa and rice together and grind with little water, as it easily leaves a lot of water.
- Combine all of them together with around 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
- Mix well and ferment it overnight.
- Next day without mixing, grease idli plate and pour batter.
- Steam for 12 to 15 mins.
- Serve with any chutney or sambar.
After a day’s time, I added a bit more water and mix batter. Use this for Dosa. I forgot to take pics 🙂 will update the next time I prepare this dosa.

Thanks for the healthy recipe. Just one question. Why should not the batter be mixed after fermentation?

Malar said:
Hi Laila, the reason why batter should not be mixed after fermentation is, you will not get soft idli’s if mixed. For dosa you need to mix.
By not mixing the idli’s are soft and fluffy. Do try it 🙂

This is an amazing recipe. Is it as good as rice? In terms of softness?

Malar said:
Thanks Charu, yes yes it is as good as rice idli…It is a little bit extra sour that the normal idli’s. But for dosa we did not find the difference at all. Can’t say as soft as normal idli, definitely not hard. Like those I made with millet, were always hard, but this is not so…do try it 🙂
