Finger millet or Ragi has been the only millet I had used until a few years ago when I discovered this whole new world of millets and its benefits. Now I try and use all kinds in my everyday cooking. Here is one such recipe . This recipe is can be used with most millets. It's really delicious and way more flavorful than the regular rice dosa.
Ingredients:
- Millets (foxtail) : 3 cups
- Urad gola: 1 cup
- Channa dal :1 tblspn
- Poha: 1/2 cup
- Methi seeds: 1 tblspn
- Oil/Ghee for making the dosa
- salt to taste
Procedure:
- Wash and soak together the millets, urad gola, channa dal and the methi seeds for about 4-5 hours.
- Soak the poha for about 15 minutes before you grind the ingredients.
- Grind the soaked ingredients long with the poha in a blender until smooth .
- To this batter , add the salt and mix well. Keep covered for about 5-6 hours or until the batter rises from fermentation .
