GODHUMA DOSA RECIPE (INSTANT VERSION) | EASY BREAKFAST RECIPES

GODHUMA DOSA RECIPE (INSTANT VERSION) | EASY BREAKFAST RECIPES

    Godhuma dosa / Godumai dosai is one easy breakfast, made within 20 minutes.

Godhuma dosa Recipe/ wheat dosa recipe

Prep Time: 5 mins    |  Cook time: 15 mins    |  Makes: 6

Ingredients

Wheat flour	1/2 cup
Rice flour	1/4 cup
Onion	1
Green chilli	1
Ginger, grated	1 tsp
Salt	1 tsp
Water or buttermilk	as needed
Jeera	1 tsp
curry leaves	few

Method

1. Chop finely onion, green chilli. Take both the flour, onion,chilli, ginger and salt in a mixing bowl. Use a whisk and add water gradually and mix well. The batter should be watery, not too watery, but thin than the usual dosa batter. You can use butter milk instead of water as well.
2. Heat a dosa pan and grease with oil. Pour the batter first outer to form a ring and then in the middle to fill it. The dosa is supposed to be thin, so adjust the consistency of batter and also do not pour over and over. Drizzle some more oil and cook in medium flame. Flip if you want to cook both sides. I usually do not flip as it gets cooked easily.

Notes

• If dosa doesnt gets cooked while you cook one side, better to flip the dosa.
• I think without flipping, cooking the dosa in medium flame one side gives a crispy result.
• You can season the batter with mustard, urad dal, curry leaves, green chillies and then sauté the onions and then add it to the batter. My mom does that way.
• If you have sour leftover idli dosa batter, then you can skip adding rice flour and add the wheat flour to that batter and mix and make dosa same way as above. Idli dosa batter can be upto 3-4 laddles.
• Eat hot with sambar or chutney.

Maintaining Good Eye Health

Protect your eyesight with these six tips:

 

1. Eat for Good Vision

Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Studies have shown that nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E may help ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Regularly eating these foods can help lead to good eye health:

• Green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and collards
• Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish
• Eggs, nuts, beans, and other non-meat protein sources
• Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices

Eating a well-balanced diet also helps you maintain a healthy weight, which makes you less likely to get obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults.

2. Quit Smoking for Better Eyesight

Smoking makes you more likely to get cataracts, optic nerve damage, and macular degeneration. If you've tried to quit smoking before and started smoking again, keep trying. Studies show that the more times you try to quit smoking, the more likely you are to succeed.  

3. Wear Sunglasses for Good Vision

The right kind of sunglasses will help protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Too much UV exposure makes you more likely to get cataracts and macular degeneration.

Choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. Wraparound lenses help protect your eyes from the side. Polarized lenses reduce glare when driving.

If you wear contact lenses, some offer UV protection. It's still a good idea to wear sunglasses for more protection.

4. Use Safety Eyewear at Home, at Work, and While Playing Sports

If you work with hazardous or airborne materials at work or home, wear safety glasses or protective goggles every time.

Certain sports such as ice hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse can also lead to eye injury. Wear eye protection (such as helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses) to shield your eyes.

5. Look Away From the Computer for Good Eye Health

Staring at a computer screen can cause:

• Eyestrain
• Blurry vision
• Difficulty focusing at a distance
• Dry eyes
• Headaches
• Neck, back, and shoulder pain

Protect your eye health by taking the following steps:

• Make sure your glasses or contact lens prescription is up-to-date and adequate for computer use. 
• Some people may need glasses to help with contrast, glare, and eye strain when using a computer.
• Position your computer so that your eyes are level with the top of the monitor. This allows you to look slightly down at the screen.
• Try to avoid glare on your computer from windows and lights. Use an anti-glare screen if needed.
• Choose a comfortable, supportive chair. Position it so that your feet are flat on the floor.
• If your eyes are dry, blink more.
• Every 20 minutes, rest your eyes by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every two hours, get up and take a 15-minute break.
