Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Laddle
- 1 Wisk
- 1 Non-stick dosa tawa or griddle
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mixed Millet Flour
- 1/2 cup Idli Rice Flour
- 1/4 cup Urad Dal Flour
- 2 tbsp Cornflour
- 2 tbsp Wheat Flour
- 1/2 cup Moringa Leaves finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Salt to taste
- 1 litre Water (as needed)
- 2 tbsp Oil or Ghee
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the millet flour, rice flour, urad dal flour, cornflour, and wheat flour. Ensure there are no lumps in this dry mix.
- Gradually incorporate water while continuing to whisk. You want a smooth, pourable batter like a standard dosa batter. Avoid any clumps.
- Now stir in the chopped moringa leaves, pepper, cumin seeds and salt until fully combined. This adds flavour and nutrition.
- Allow the millet batter to ferment for 4-6 hours or overnight. This fermentation process is key for making the dosas nice and soft.
- Check the batter consistency after fermentation. Thin it down with a splash of water if needed. The batter should coat the tawa easily.
- Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle on medium flame until hot. Test it before pouring any batter.
- Use a ladle to pour a spoonful of batter onto the centre of the tawa. Spread it out using circular motions to form a thin dosa.
- Drizzle a bit of oil or ghee around the dosa edges. This gives a nice crispness and colour.
- Cook each dosa until the edges turn golden brown with some crispy spots. Adjust heat as needed.
- You can flip the dosa briefly to crisp up the other side too. This is optional based on preference.
- Serve the hot, wholesome millet dosas with chutney, sambar or yoghurt. Enjoy this fibre-rich breakfast!
Notes
Here are some recipe tips you can use to make your homemade multigrain dosas delicious:
- To enhance the taste of the dosas, finely chopped onions can be added to the batter.
A thin batter should be used to make crispy dosas. - Dosas can also be made crispier by adding some semolina flour.
- This recipe can be made even healthier by adding millet flour.
- Be sure to thoroughly mix the batter before making each dosa, as this batter tends to settle at the bottom.
