Servings 15 dosas

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of little  millet (kutki)
  • 1 cup of split black gram (udad dal)
  • 1 tsp of fenugreek seeds (methi)
  • ½ cup of brown rice poha
  • salt to taste
  • Oil/ghee for cooking dosas

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add little millets, udad dal and methi seeds. Add water and wash well. Drain the water. Add more water and keep the ingredients soaked  for 6 to 7 hours.
  • Soak brown rice poha for 1 hour.
  • After 7 hours, drain the water and transfer soaked ingredients to a mixer jar.
  • Add soaked brown rice poha. Add little water and blend to a fine paste.   
  • In a mixing bowl or vessel , add the batter . Add salt and mix well. Cover and keep aside for fermentation for 10 to 12 hours.
  • After 12 hours, the batter would be fermented.
  • This batter can be used to make dosas as well as idlis. For making idlis, the batter needs to be a bit thicker. For dosa, we need the batter of thinner consistency. So, you can remove as much batter as is required in a large bowl. Add some water and mix well.  
  • Heat a dosa pan. Drizzle some drops of ghee/oil on the pan.
  • Spread the ghee/oil on the pan using a tissue paper.
  • The tawa should be hot before pouring the dosa batter on it.
  • Pour a ladle of dosa batter andspread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
  • Drizzle a tsp of oil or ghee  around the dosa and cook the dosa on low flame.
  • When the dosa has cooked well and turns crispy, remove the dosa off the heat.
  • Make dosas similarly with the remaining batter.
  • Serve dosa with chutney/sambar.
