Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Foxtail millet
- 0.5 cup Quinoa
- 0.25 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Rinse the foxtail millet, quinoa, and urad dal together under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large bowl, place the rinsed grains, add the fenugreek seeds, and cover with water. Let them soak for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
Drain the soaked grains and seeds. Transfer them to a blender, adding 1 to 1.5 cups of water gradually; blend until smooth and of a pourable, pancake-like consistency.
Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover it, and allow it to ferment in a warm place for 8 to 12 hours until it thickens slightly and develops a slightly tangy aroma.
Once the batter is fermented, add salt and mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet.
Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin, round dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and cook until the dosa starts to brown and crisp up, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another minute on the other side before removing it from the pan.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary.
Serve the millets dosas hot with your choice of chutney or sambar.
