I Have a Question For You!

Hi Ppls, I'm trying to figure out the points value for a PLAIN dosa, the type you get when eating out. WW, does have points values for masala dosa, but I need the points for just a plain dosa. Anyone know the ingredients for a plain dosa? Thanks!

  1. ratio of urad dal to basmati rice (most of the time is 1 to 3)..so for 1 cup of urad dal, you would use 3 cups of basmati rice

  6. Hey Alka,

    Sorry for the delay. So, here is what I figured:

    Stats on ONE cup of basmati rice:
    Cal: 180
    Fat: 0
    Fiber: 1

    Stats on three cups of Basmati rice
    3X=
    Cal: 540
    Fat: 0
    Fiber: 3

    Stats on ONE cup of Urad Dal:
    Cal: 347
    Fat: 1
    Fiber: 1

    Add them up =
    Cal: 887
    Fat: 1
    Fiber: 4

    Let's divide this by 15(if this made 15 dosa's), just for a worse case scenario:
    Cal: 60
    Fat: 1
    Fiber: 1

    Now, this would equal ONE WW points. I'm a bit skeptical about this though. Im going to go to the Dosa house and see if they tell me how they make their batter -or my nutritional stats could be very off, I should go to the grocery store and look at the nutritionals on the label for urad dal, as I think it would have more fiber.

    So, for now its 1 WW points, but I would seriously say it would be more, maybe around 6 WW points. Ill continue to research this and get back to you :-)
