Fermented Rice and Lentil Dosas
If fermented foods are good for you, then this is a dinner winner. Make them even thinner and use as wraps for all sorts of amazing flavours. Curry on
I hear that fermented foods are good for your gut, so I went with it and lookee here. Incredible flatbreads, that are kind of a cross between tortillas and naan, but a sourdough version and absolutely a breeze to make. The batter is creamy and bubbly and just nice and sour like it should be. All you need is a thermo and of course some time. I highly recommend frying in coconut oil as it really helps with the non-stick effect which is pretty vital to these dosas. I hope you love them as much as I do.
