BAJRA / KAMBU / PEARL MILLET DOSA
YIELDS - 10 TO 12 DOSA
Ingredients :
Bajra/kambu/ pearl Millet - 1 1/2 cup
Idli rice - 1/2 cup
Urad dhal - 1/2 cup
Methi seeds - 1/4 tsp
Salt - as needed
Oil or ghee for making Dosa
Method :
1. Remove any dirt or stones in the millet. Wash it atleast 3 to 4 times and soak them in
the water for atleast 4 to 5 hrs.
2. Same way Wash Idli rice, urad dhal and Methi seeds. Soak
them for atleast 2 hrs. Everything has to be soaked separately.
3. Usually I grind them in the Wet grinder like how we grind
Idli batter, but you can also use any Blender.
4. First grind Urad dhal with methi seeds to smooth batter.
(Add water in regular intervals) Once Urad dhal is ground to smooth batter
remove it to the container.
5. Now add the millet and grind them for couple of minutes.
When it is little coarse add the soaked rice. (Add water in regular intervals)
6. The batter should not be very smooth like Idli batter and
very coarse like Adai batter. It has to be fine coarse texture. Now add the
Millet batter to Urad dhal batter. Add salt and mix well (the consistency has to
be like Idli batter).
7. During hot weather it’s enough to ferment the batter to
5- 6 hrs, but during cold weather it has to be fermented overnight. I usually ferment overnight.
8. Once fermented, Batter is ready for making Dosas.
9. When making Dosa add water to desired consistency. Take
ladle full of batter and pour in the middle of hot skillet then go towards the
edges of the skillet.
10. Add 1/2 tsp of oil, when it gets slightly brown at the
bottom & edges flip over the other side, always keep it in the medium to
low flame.
11. Add 1/2 tsp of oil and make it crispy or soft as
desired.
For Making Dosa rolls like how I did for Lunchbox :
Carrot filling :
Carrot - 1 grated
Cilantro - 1 tbsp finely chopped
Salt - a pinch
Pepper - a pinch
Mix the above mixture in a bowl.
For Rolls :
Once Dosa is made take couple of tsp of Carrot mixture,
scatter the mixture over the dosa and roll it. Cut the Dosa in the middle and
pack it for Lunch box.
Note :
Don't make it too crisp or too thin if you are packing for
lunch box, it will be difficult to roll and it dries up during the lunch time.
