So... What are the chances? Only 2 weeks apart, and there are Dobos and Dosas. I was a little confused, but since both were totally awesome, it's a non-issue =D. In fact, I made both challenges within a week of each other. Okay, I actually made all three challenges within a week and a half, but thats what summer is for! Or what it was...
This challenge, Hosted by Debyi of Healthy Vegan Kitchen, was not only to make dosas, but to make vegan ones. I really enjoyed it. It was delicious and full of amazing indian flavours. Definitely one for the books. And, its hearty and protein packed. My dad said that he woke up full the next morning from these =D.
Time for pictures!
It all starts with a bowl of spice...
That gets mixed in with a couple of other things...
And before you know it, there is a beautiful, fragrant, bubbling sauce simmering away.
For the filling - You'll need a ton of chickpeas. All mashed up!
Almost mixed together...
The dosa pancakes. Don't get me started. These are not exactly simple, and took forever. I'm not saying not to try them, just be patient =D.
Anyways, here is the Curried Garbanzo Bean Filling. It is soooo good!
All together, its delicious!
The next day for lunch, I heated up some leftovers, and tried a different dosa recipe.
These ones were made with oil, and I've got to say that Debyi's recipe is much better, even though both were a little bit frustrating to me.
Besides the final dosa pancake recipe, I used all of the challenge recipes (replaced the spelt of course), and I'm so glad I did! They are delicious - I hope you enjoy them!

That looks so delicious! And hehe what are the chances of a Dobos and a Dosai! :)
Love the colour of your filling :) it looks very yummy! Great job - as always!
Great job Lauren! Looks SOOO good. I enjoyed the challenge and the taste as well!
They look so crispy! Wonderful!
Lol, I also picked up on the similarity of "dobos" and "dosas". Can you imagine getting them confused or fusing them? Buttercream dosas and a layer-cake with currry sauce...
You did a wonderful job with this challenge. Your photos are terrific. Everything looks delicious.
Great job! It's kind of comforting to see that I wasn't the only one with trouble getting the dosa right. I think legumes are almost always filling!
Those look great! I didn't even realize the dobos/dosas similarities!
Your dosas look fabulous. And I hope you enjoyed your as much as I did mine. Can't wait till the next challenge.
Lauren, I always like to catch up with you on the DB challenges. I love all your step by step photos!
Luaren, your dosas look fabulous! Thanks for visiting my blog! I love yours by the way!
Good job! Great photos and yummy dosas
Lauren absolutely beautiful job! They look perfect. If mine had turned out as lovely as yours, maybe they would have tasted better to me ;D
Lovely! Great photos and a great job...
Your dosas look so thin and lacey. Nice job on those.
Thanks for coming by for a visit.
Wow your dosas look so good! Yummy looking!
i tried a couple of different versions of dosa as well and also struggled a bit. i think i'll keep testing differnet flours/recipes.
Great work, as always, Lauren! I love how your cucumbers look so thin and perfect (not to mention your delish-looking main course, of course)... I always get lazy with the garnish :)
Well executed Dosas and they look scrumptious. Love the step by step details.
Regards
Kris
Looks wonderful Lauren! I too found them quite filling. Great job on the challenge!
fantastic photos, your dosas look really delicious!
Aren't you anxious to see what challenge we get next? I definitely liked this one better than Dobos cake :)
Glad you enjoyed it! They were definitely very filling - all those chickpeas I think.
Looks great! Your gluten free dosas look much better than mine, but maybe that is because I used all buckwheat flour. What type of flour did you use?
Jenn - I used Bette Hagman's mix, which I keep on hand. I also put in a little xanthan gum to help it all stay together =D.
Hi Lauren,
I liked the filling too and the curry sauce.
Great job, glad you enjoyed the challenge, I did too. :)
I agree with your dad - they definitely were filling! Great job on the challenge!
Once again you make vegan cooking look absolutely mouth watering!! Thank you so much for the kreative blogger award. Great job on the challenge!
Never heard of Dosas before. This looks really good.
Love the story of the photos, your dosas look great
Wow, your dosas look so yummie and very tasty...love the pictures as well :-)
WOW, these look so good. Nice work!! Now I am hungry :)
They do look tasty! We quite enjoyed them too.
Now it's really much easier to choose food if you have celiac disease - if you have imagination, you can prepare much of it by yourself. Like you do:)
It's no use fasting if the body is against it - it's much nicer to eat in a reasonable way, reasonable quantities and stuff.
I've never had dosa yet, looks nice.
Yeah, and as for proteins, in this fasting book it's stated that we overestimate the need for proteins, something about 60g a day is completely fine.
Lauren, your dosas turned out beautiful - I’m glad you liked it! Love your step-by-step photos. Very well done!
Lovely photo essay! Great job on this challenge!
You are talented and know how to take a challenge. I am impressed with your recipes or rather the results of following them.
Sounds like you've been a very busy and very daring cook/baker. :-) Great job on this month's challenge.
I love dosas and I completely miss them. I'll have to try the dosa recipe with some gluten free flours.
