The benefits of different types of millets have been discussed many times in this blog and some recipes have been posted too.
In this recipe , I decided to mix some of the millets together to get a dosa batter which gives a very tasty healthy dish.
Every once in a while I prepare such dosas to add more nutrition to our daily tiffin items . This is also a great way to reduce the consumption of white rice.

Ingredients:

Totally 2 cups of millets ( includes all varieties mentioned below ) you can use whatever varieties you get to make up the 2 cups , if ragi is added more you will get the colour of ragi dosa . That is why the dosa pics are looking like Ragi dosa . Given below is the break up .

It is highly recommended that milets be washed well many times till you get clear water, then soak overnight formaximum nutrition in little water which can be used for grinding also . You can soak other ingredinets for lesser time .

1/4 Cup Foxtail millet/Thinai

1/4 Cup Little millet/Samai

1/4 Cup Kambu / Pearl Millet

1/2 Cup Ragi/ Finger millet

1/4 Cup Jowar/Cholam or big millet

1/4 Cup Kodo millet /Varagu Arisi

1/4 Cup Barnyard Millet/Kuthiraivali
1/4 cup udad dal
1/2 Cup Idli Rice

1/2 tablespoon Menthiyam/Fenugreek seeds

Salt to taste

oil for making dosas.

Method:

1. In a vessel soak the udad dal, fenugreek seeds/methi for 4 hours

2. In another vessel wash the rice and millets, soak together for 8 hours or overnight, esp millets have to be soaked for longer time .

3.First grind udad dal and methi to a smooth foamy batter.

4. Next grind the rice and millets to a slightly coarser batter than the udad dal batter.

5. Mix both batter and keep for fermentation.

6. After batter has fermented well , add salt, stir batter well, make dosas as you normally do with regular batter

Serve with chutneys or sambar of your choice.
