Instant crispy millet dosa
Instant millet dosa
First of I am extremely excited and happy to know that millets work so beautifully in dosa recipes and idli recipes too , and here are the pics of the yummy dosas I made, unfortunately I could get only mobile clicks as this was an unplanned post.
Furthermore this is a very old post btw which i first published in 2014 at a time when food bloggers were not doing so many millet recipes, now we see almost everyone going the millet way as it means more variety ,more recipes and so all the health nuts are spoiled for choice .
Sometimes things totally not planned some how works in our favour and we delight at these small successes.
Well of late we hear people trying to avoid rice and all rice products, then this paper dosa recipe is a great boon as it involves no rice except rice flour, and mostly millets and udad dal.
The beauty of the recipe is it is a no fermentation recipe!!
While no fermentation sounds good, it is better to consume idlis and dosas the way they were meant to be, using fermented batter as there is plenty of reserach on helath benefits of fermentation , how ever once ina while we can skip and preparesuch dosas immediately, as we may be consuming other types of fermented foods, once ina while it wilnot creat e issue, besides there are many who actually cannot tolerate fermented foods so , such quick recipes may be useful.
Ingredients
3/4 cup udad dal
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup Millets ( Barnyard millets or kodo millets )
1/2 tsp of fenugreek seeds ( to get that rich brown colour )
3 tbsp of cooked rice ( optional )
Method:
First of all wash and Soak all the ingredients, millets and udad dal separately or together for at least 4 hours.
Next grind together or seperately as it doesnt matter, after 4 hours to a dosa batter like consistency.
further add salt, mix well.
Grease a dosa tava well, spread the dosa batter with ladle and apply oil on edges to get a crispy finish.
Instant, Millet paper dosa is ready to be served,with your favourite chutney , sambar or moga podi.
While this may seem so handy you can allow rest of batter to ferment on the counter , store and use for later .
