Navrathan (9) Legumes – Dosa/Panckaes


Dosa5

About:

I am crazy about grains, legumes. I really am. They are the most versatile, earthy, hearty, nourishing legumes. Lentil, beans and grains are my first choice when I need something to fill.

Dosa can be made thick or thin as per your taste preference, I love the flavour and texture spiced with cumin and chilli.

Serve this for breakfast or dinner with your favourite dip/chutney.

Health benefits:

Legumes are a great source of plant-based protein for vegans. Legumes include beans, lentils, soybeans, peas, peanuts, snap beans and edible pods. They are also extremely high in fiber, the number one protective factor against heart disease. Additionally, they contain many different important vitamins and minerals. Eating them greatly reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease, the world’s leading cause of death. Evidence also shows eating legumes reduces your risk for certain cancers, particularly colon cancer.
