Description

Pearl millet flour is nothing but kambu maavu, one of the variety of grains very much near to finger millet..thought of buying ragi flour, but i didnt checked, came back home n thought of preparing ragi dosais, i saw the name only while mixing them with urad dal batter...really was surprised n dunno wat to do.. i left the batter for fermentation, n prepared them as like ragi dosais, the result was amazing n tasty..thought to share with u all as the millet flour r rich in proteins n good for health..good for diabetic people..these millet r two types one is black millet(bajra flour) n the other one is white millet(jowar flour)..i used black millet flour for this recipe..

While making dosais, mix them well with a ladle n add roasted rava to the batter n dont disturb the batter for few minutes, this will give the crispiness to the dosai..heat a spoon full of oil in a kadai, add the mustard seeds, urad dal n red chilli n let them splutters,chop finely the onion into pieces n add to the oil until they turns transculent n add the curry leaves too, now add this tempered spices to the batter, mix everything n check for the consistency of the batter..heat a tawa n take a ladle full of batter n make them as dosais, drizzle a little oil n cook them well until they turns brownish n crispy..
