Foxtail Millet Podi Dosa Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups Foxtail Millet
- 1 cup Idli Rice
- 1 cup White Urad Dal (Split)
- 1 teaspoon Methi Seeds (Fenugreek Seeds)
- Idli Dosa Podi (Milagai Powder)
Steps
- To begin making the Foxtail Millet Podi Dosa Recipe, we will first rinse all the ingredients and soak the millet, rice together in a bowl and the urad dal and fenugreek seeds in another bowl. Soak them for at least 6 hours.
- Grind urad dal and fenugreek seeds in a mixer grinder to make it to a smooth and fluffy batter.
- Pour the ground batter to a large mixing bowl. Next grind the rice using just enough water to make a smooth batter.
- Add it to the urad dal batter, add 3 teaspoons salt and stir well to combine the batter. Cover the batter and place it in a warm place to ferment until it doubles in size (about 6 to 8 hours)
- Once the batter is fermented you can make idlis or dosas out of it.
- Heat a skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat and grease if it an iron skillet. Pour a ladleful of the millet dosa batter on the skillet and spread in a circular motion to make a thin crepe.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of oil or ghee around the dosa and cook until it gets golden brown and crisp.
- Once done, sprinkle the Idli Milagai Podi over the dosa batter and fold into half and serve.
- Proceed the same way to make the remaining dosas.
- Serve the Foxtail Millet Podi Dosa along with Bottle Gourd Peel Chutney Recipe for breakfast or even make it for a tea party or a weeknight dinner.
