Adapted from Reboot with Joe  I had to make another batch as these went so fast....next time I make a double...maybe triple batch.

Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
1/4 cup  water
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 date (pitted)

Directions:
1.) Rinse quinoa well.  Add to bowl and cover with water.  Soak for about 20-30 minutes.

2.) After quinoa has soaked, drain and add it a blender with 1/4 cup of water, the date, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt.

3.) Blend until smooth.  Add more water if needed.  Batter should be smooth, like a crepe batter.

4.) To cook, heat pan over medium heat.  Add 1/2 to 1 teapsoon coconut oil (or other oil).  Ladle a small amount and quickly spread out.  Cook about 3-5 minutes and flip.  Dosas should be golden brown on both sides.

Note:  To make dosas savory, leave out the date and cinnamon and substitute with fresh herbs or spices.
