Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup millet flour (e.g. pearl millet / jowar / ragi or mixed millet flour) you may use store-bought millet flour or home-milled millets
  • ½ cup finely chopped mixed vegetables e.g. grated carrot, finely chopped onion, capsicum, peas
  • 1 cup water or as needed to make batter
  • ½ tsp salt or to taste
  • ¼ tsp cumin seeds optional, for flavour
  • 1 tsp oil (for cooking dosa) use minimal oil for healthy version

Equipment

  • non-stick griddle / tawa

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, take the millet flour. Gradually add water and whisk to get a smooth pourable batter, similar to rice-dosa batter.
  2. Add salt, cumin seeds (if using) and finely chopped mixed vegetables into the batter. Mix well so vegetables are evenly distributed.
  3. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes. This helps the flour absorb water and gives a better texture.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium flame. Once hot, sprinkle a little water and wipe quickly — this ensures even heat.
  5. Pour one ladle of batter in the centre of the tawa and gently spread in a circular motion to form a thin dosa. Drizzle about ½ tsp oil around the edges.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom side becomes golden and crisp. Then flip and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes.
  7. Remove the dosa carefully and serve hot with chutney or sambar of your choice.

Notes

You can vary millets: use pearl millet (bajra), sorghum (jowar), finger millet (ragi) or a mix. Adding vegetables boosts fibre and micronutrients. Use minimal oil for a healthier dose. Pair this dosa with protein-rich sambar or chutney for a balanced meal.
