Packed with fiber, iron, and calcium, this millet dosa is perfect for diabetics, weight watchers, and anyone looking to include millets in their everyday diet.
Wash and soak pearl millet, idli rice (or Little millet), urad dal, and fenugreek seeds together for 4–6 hours.
Grind the soaked mixture to a smooth batter, adding water gradually as needed.
Add salt, mix well, and allow the batter to ferment overnight (8–10 hours).
Heat a dosa tawa (preferably cast iron, stone, or brass). Pour a ladle of batter, spread evenly, and cook on medium flame until crisp. Add a few drops of oil or ghee if desired.
Serving Suggestions: Serve hot with: Coconut chutney / Tomato-onion spicy chutney / Sambar; Or pair it with homemade Idli/Dosa podi with flax seeds (recipe coming soon!).
