BM #133 Week 3 Day 2 -
Today's recipe is another millet based dosa which is a very filling and nutritious meal option.
In our menu I try and use a different millet each week to make Idli/Dosa. These Dosas are made with Kodo Millet. Irrespective of the type of millet used, the Dosas turn out awesome.
Ingredients -
Kodo Millet 1 cup (240 ml cup)
Urad Dal 1/2 cup
Fenugreek Seeds 1/2 tsp
Salt as needed
Wash and soak Kodo millet for about 4-6 hours.
Wash and soak Urad Dal and fenugreek seeds for about 4 hours.
Drain and blend the urad dal - methi seeds mixture into a fine batter adding as little water as needed.
Drain and blend the Kodo millet into a coarse batter adding as little water as needed.
Combine both the batters, add salt as needed and mix well.
Cover and set aside in a warm place for a few hours for fermentation. [I fermented it for 14 hours].
On a hot griddle / tawa, pour a ladle full of batter and spread it into a thin circle. Spray some oil all over. Let the dosa cook.
Flip onto the other side and allow it to cook for a few seconds.
Remove and continue with the rest of the batter.
Serve it hot with a chutney of your choice.
Preparation Time 20 minutes + Soaking time 4-5 hours + Fermenting time 14 hours
Makes 16-20

I like the proportion of millet to rice in this dosa. Protein rich and tasty one!
