Barnyard Millet Dosa
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
- 1½ cup kuthiraivali or barnyard millet
- 1 big boiled potato, grated
- 2 green chillies
- 1-inch ginger, ground
- Rock salt or regular salt, to taste
- Ghee or oil, for frying
- Mint, coriander chutney and sabudana khichdi, to serve
Method
- In a channi or colander wash the millets well under running water to remove any impurities.
Transfer in a big pot filled with water and soak for an hour.
Drain off the water and wash once the millets again before transferring into a grinder jar.
Add some water, ginger paste, green chillies, salt, boiled potatoes and pulse until you get a smooth consistency.
Add more water if required. Make sure the batter is not too thick nor too runny.
Transfer into a bowl and keep aside. - Heat a little of the oil or ghee in a griddle or heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the centre of the pan and spread it outwards in a circular motion.
Pour a tsp of ghee or oil around the edges of the dosa and let it cook for a few minutes.
Flip and let the dosa cook until light brown.
Fold, take off heat and place on a plate.
Serve warm with freshly ground mint and coriander chutney and sabudana khichdi on the side.
