FAQs to make the best Quinoa Dosa:

1. Does this batter need to be fermented ? Fermentation helps digest the lentils better , so highly recommended. You may however ferment on the countertop for 2 hours post making the batter, and the rest of the time can be refrigerated.
2. Can I skip the chillies in this dosa ? yes the red chillies can be skipped if you don't like. We prefer to have these ground with the batter?
3. What other add-ons can be added to the batter ? To make it more nutritious, one can top the dosa with moringa powder, fresh moringa or any fresh greens finely chopped, shredded carrots or even cabbage.
