Dosa in general is love 💚. And a crispy lacy dosa paired with chutney/sambar is an emotion 😅.
The new health food of today are the Millets. Today's post is a dosa made of Jowar millet. Well, in English, Jowar is called as "Sorghum". Did you know that Jowar is globally known as the "New Quinoa" for its gluten free and whole-grain goodness? . Yes, it has a plethora of health benefits. To name a few, Jowar (is):
👉 gluten free
👉 rich in fiber
👉 controls blood sugar
👉 iron-rich
👉 helps in weight loss
👉 improves digestive system
👉 improves heart health
Let's see how to make it.
Ingredients:
Jowar Rava 1 cup
Whole Wheat 1 cup
Onion finely chopped 1
Cumin Seeds 1 tsp
Pepper Powder 1/2 tsp
Green Chillies 1 or 2
Asafoetida pinch
Salt to taste
Method:
Add jowar rava, wheat flour to a bowl. Mix well.
Add water and make it into a running consistency. It needs to be watery for the dosa to be crispy and lacy.
To it add salt, cumin seeds, pepper powder, green chillies, asafoetida, chopped onions. Mix well.
Heat a tava. Drizzle oil. Keep the flame in medium. Take a ladle of this batter and pour it over the hot tava.
Allow the dosa to cook until crisp and brown. This generally takes a little longer time to cook.
Once done, fold & serve hot. Do not flip.
Pair it with any chutney of your choice.
I paired it with Almond-Tomato-Onion Chutney. The recipe for the chutney is below:
