A wholesome tasty meal, that will bring in a perfect twist to the traditional dosa
Millet Dosa
Description
This Jowar Millet Dosa combines the goodness of jowar flour (sorghum) with rice flour and finger millet to create a crisp, savory dosa. The batter is spiced with jeera, chili powder, turmeric, hing (asafoetida), and fresh coriander, making it flavourful and aromatic. This dosa is a healthier alternative to traditional dosas, offering a gluten-free and nutrient-dense option.

Ingredients
Method:
-
Prepare the batter:
-
- In a mixing bowl, combine jowar flour, rice flour, and semolina.
- Add jeera, red chili powder, turmeric, hing, and salt.
- Slowly add water (start with 1/2 cup) and whisk to make a smooth batter without lumps. The consistency should be similar to a pancake batter—slightly thin but not too watery.
- Add chopped coriander and mix well. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.

Cook the dosa:
- Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) on medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
- Pour a ladle of the batter onto the tawa and spread it out in a circular motion to make a thin dosa.
- Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden and crisp.
- Flip the dosa and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining batter to make 4-5 dosas (for 2 servings).
-
Serve:
- Serve the jowar millet dosa hot with chutney, sambar, or yogurt for a wholesome, nutritious meal.
