Multi-Grain Dosa

While dosas are a beloved Indian dish, they aren’t always the healthiest option due to their traditional ingredients. For instance, urad dal, often used in dosa batter, is considered more medicinal than nutritious according to Ayurveda. However, we can still enjoy dosa by making a healthier version!

Ingredients:

  • Ragi (Finger millet)
  • Kambu (Pearl millet)
  • Cholam (Sorghum)
  • Rice
  • Poha (Flattened rice)
  • 1 cup green gram (whole moong dal)
  • 3 teaspoons fenugreek seeds (methi)

Procedure:

  1. Combine equal amounts of ragi, kambu, cholam, rice, and poha.
  2. Add 1 cup of green gram and 3 teaspoons of fenugreek seeds.
  3. Soak all these ingredients in water for 4 hours.
  4. Use a wet grinder to make a batter from the soaked mixture.

Allow the batter to ferment for 3-4 hours before using. Once ready, you can make dosas from the multi-grain batter. Serve with coconut chutney or tomato chutney for a delicious and nutritious meal.
