Protein Dosa

A regular dosa is already a breakfast classic, crisp at the edges and soft at the heart. Add 1 scoop of Protein Shakti, and it becomes a more protein-rich dosa while keeping the same familiar South Indian comfort 🥞🌿

Protein Shakti is made with pea isolate + peanut protein powder, is vegan, gluten-free, heat stable, and each 20 g scoop gives 12.2 g protein.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Take Dosa Batter in a Bowl

Add 1 cup dosa batter to a mixing bowl.

Use regular fermented dosa batter. The batter should be pourable, not too thick.

---

Step 2: Add Protein Shakti

Add 1 scoop, 20 g, of Protein Shakti to the dosa batter.

This adds 12.2 g of plant-based protein to the recipe.

---

Step 3: Mix Until Smooth

Whisk the batter well until Protein Shakti blends completely.

Make sure there are no dry pockets or lumps. The batter should look smooth and even.

---

Step 4: Adjust the Consistency

Protein Shakti may slightly thicken the batter.

Add 2–4 tbsp water, little by little, and mix again.

For crisp dosa, keep the batter slightly thin and flowy.
For soft dosa or uttapam-style dosa, keep it slightly thicker.

---

Step 5: Rest the Batter

Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.

This helps Protein Shakti hydrate properly and gives the dosa a better texture.

---

Step 6: Heat the Tawa

Heat a dosa tawa or non-stick pan on medium heat.

Sprinkle a few drops of water on the tawa. If they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the tawa is ready.

---

Step 7: Spread the Dosa

Pour one ladle of batter on the center of the tawa.

Spread it gently in a circular motion.

For a thin dosa, spread it wide.
For a thicker protein dosa, spread it lightly and keep it slightly soft.

---

Step 8: Add Oil and Cook

Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges.

Cook on medium heat until the edges lift and the base turns golden.

Protein-added batter can brown slightly faster, so avoid very high heat.

---

Step 9: Flip if Needed

For a crisp dosa, you can cook only one side.

For a softer dosa, flip and cook the other side for 20–30 seconds.

---

Step 10: Serve Fresh

Serve hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, sambhar, or podi.

Your everyday dosa now gets a clean protein upgrade without changing your breakfast routine ✨

Recipe Notes

Protein Shakti has a mild nutty flavour because it contains peanut protein. It blends well with dosa batter and pairs nicely with chutneys and sambhar.

Since Protein Shakti is heat stable, it can be safely added to dosa batter before cooking.

For best texture, avoid adding too much powder to a small amount of batter. Start with 1 scoop per 1 cup dosa batter.

Protein Boost Summary

A normal dosa serving gives roughly 6–7 g protein.

By adding 1 scoop of Protein Shakti, the same dosa serving gives around 18–19 g protein.

That means your regular dosa gets almost 3x more protein with one simple scoop. 🥣💪
