Given that I hail from southern India, I have a comforting affinity towards all things dosa.  An Indian Breakfast is incomplete without Dosas. Dosas are lentil crepes that are served plain or with different fillings. Varieties abound - sada dosa, karuppu ulundhu dosa, murunga keerai dosa, egg dosa, thalippu dosa, sprouted mung dosa, sprouted ragi dosa - to name just a (paltry) few!   They make great vehicles for creativity. Think whole-grains, legumes, vegetables -  think dosas.  They are extremely handy to have around in your fridge since they can be whipped into delicious meals at a very short notice. Dosa can be fermented as well as made instant. This one falls into the latter category.

Years of blogging and general passion has taught me the value of eating whole foods the right way. Soaking and sprouting are effective ways of consuming such foods since it enables  optimal digestion and absorption of nutrients. I find germinated brown rice  very convenient since the rice has already been soaked, sprouted and dried thereby making the nutrients more bio available. If you cannot find it near you, simple soak brown rice in an acidic medium (details in step 1). Instead of the skinned variety of Urad dal (black lentils/ whole gram), I use the whole (black) variety since its more nutritious than its counterpart. I tend to soak and sprout during weekends. It stays good for a 4-5 days in the fridge and I am good to go for the entire week where I tend to add sprouts to many dishes.

And now comes the best part. Carrots! My produce box was glowing with red carrots and I couldn't help myself. I wanted to add these to my favourite dosas. I searched around google to see if anyone else had a similar idea and to no one's surprise, there were a zillion carrot dosas already. I came across this particular recipe and what appealed me to it was the use of a kitchen staple in my house - Oats! I had to make it pronto but with my own touches. Nutritious carrot dosas all ready to go. Make sure to compliment the meal with something citrusy. Helps to absorb iron from all these wholesome ingredients.
