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.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Jowar (Sorghum Flour): A powerhouse of nutrients, jowar is rich in fibre and essential vitamins and minerals like iron and magnesium. It's a gluten-free grain that helps in digestion, maintains blood sugar levels, and promotes heart health.
  • Rice Flour: Provides a light and crisp texture to the dosa and is a source of carbohydrates for quick energy.
  • Ragi (Finger millet): Good source of iron and calcium. 
  • Jeera (Cumin Seeds): Enhances digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Chili Powder & Turmeric: Both are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Coriander: Adds freshness and is a good source of antioxidants.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup jowar (sorghum) flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 2 tbsp ragi flour
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 pinch asafoetida
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander
  • salt to taste
  • water to adjust batter consistency
Method:
  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Serve:
    • Serve the jowar millet dosa hot with chutney, sambar, or yogurt for a wholesome, nutritious meal.
