    I tried this quinoa dosa for first time yesterday and was delicious. But the only thing was it dint turn out crispy and could not make thin ones. It took lot of time to make a single one.so finally I made like thick uttapam out of them. Being a dosa fan now I won’t miss my dosas as it turned out healthier and better now. Pls give me some tip to reduce the stickeness? Should I add the rice flour? But then I don’t want to add rice.So any other substitute? Pls suggest.

      Sorry to hear that!! It always turns out crispy and comes out like a breeze compared to the regular dosa. Did you add all the dals (urad, moong, and toor) as it is mentioned in the recipe? The quantity of the dals and quinoa also important.

        Yes . I followed as it is the only extra thing i added was 1 teaspoon of methi seeds.
