Evidence Level
Established nutritional principles based on the nutrient composition of buckwheat, lentils, and tomatoes. Individual clinical outcomes may vary.
Clinical Application
Buckwheat is a naturally gluten-free pseudocereal that provides carbohydrates, fiber, and minerals. Moong dal contributes plant protein. Tomato chutney adds flavor and micronutrients without requiring a heavy sauce. Cross-contact with gluten-containing ingredients should be considered for individuals with coeliac disease.

Recipe Instructions
-
1. Prepare the moong dal
Drain the soaked moong dal and blend it with a little water until smooth.
Why? Blending the dal helps distribute the protein-containing ingredient throughout the batter. -
2. Prepare the batter
Combine the blended dal with buckwheat flour, ginger, cumin seeds, coriander, salt, and enough water to make a pourable batter. Rest for 5–10 minutes.
-
3. Heat the pan
Heat a non-stick dosa pan or tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
-
4. Spread the dosa
Pour a ladle of batter onto the pan and spread it gently into a thin circle.
-
5. Cook until set
Cook for approximately 2–3 minutes. Drizzle a small amount of oil around the edges and turn carefully if needed. Cook until the dosa is thoroughly cooked.
Chef’s Tip: Buckwheat batter can be more delicate than conventional dosa batter. Make smaller dosas if they are difficult to turn. -
6. Prepare the tomato chutney
Heat oil in a small pan. Add cumin seeds, garlic, and onion. Sauté briefly, then add tomatoes, chilli powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften.
-
7. Blend the chutney
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then blend to the desired consistency. Add a little water if needed.
-
8. Serve
Serve the hot buckwheat dosa with tomato chutney.
