    I was thinking I should make it a habit to post Diabetes Diet regularly yet I go back not doing it. Still, Athamma makes sure she plans for something herself. One of the main courses we think about is breakfast as I always feel that is one meal that really boasts us through the day.

    We tried out this tasty dosa with Navaratna meaning 9 different grains, though some were not in grain form. Being a Diabetes diet, it ought to cater a lot more with the fiber, protein and other essential minerals plus have a low glycemic index. You can check the Glycemic Index of Different Foods that normally are used in our dishes.

    For another version of dosas with multi lentils, check out Kadambam Dosa

    Today is the last day for the Blogging Marathon Group 2, it was fun having so many bloggers joining me in this run.

    Soak all the grains for nearly 12 hours.

    Grind to a smooth paste and let it rest for 30 mins before making the dosa.

     

    Heat a tawa and spread out as you regularly do for dosa

    Top the Uttappam with finely chopped onions, coriander leaves

     

    Once it gets cooked, flip over the other side, simmer till the onions are browned.

    Navaratna Onion Uttappam.

    Ingredients Needed

    Soaking Time : 12+ hrs
    Fermentation time : 30 mins
    Preparation time for each : 5 mins

    Chickpea / Kabuli Channa - 50 gms
    Raw Peanut / Ground nuts - 50 gms
    Urad dal - 50 gms
    Dried Soya beans - 50 gms
    Black eyed beans - 50 gms
    Black Chickpea / Black Channa - 50 gms
    Whole Moong Dal / Pesulu - 50 gms
    Bansi Rava - 50 gms
    Rice / Rice flour- 50 gms

    Green chilis - 2 long
    Ginger - 2"

    For topping
    Onions, finely chopped - 1 medium
    Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
    Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp

    Method to prepare:

    Wash and soak all grains together for over 12 hrs. Change the water if required in between. Grind to a smooth batter along with green chilies, ginger.

    Allow it to rest for 30 mins.

    Note: The amount of rice used is not more than what is prescribed for a diabetic. But if you want to avoid it completely, you can do so. The dosas/uttapams will turn out still soft and not very crispy. If you want to serve others at home a crispy one, add Rice flour instead of whole grains once you have the ground batter.

    Heat a tawa, grease well, and spread out the uttappam as you would regularly do. Top it with onions, cumin seeds, and coriander leaves. Cook for a couple of mins, then flip over the other side.

    simmer to low and continue cooking till the onions are browned.

    Serve with chutney of choice.
