Kambu (or known as Bajra in North India) is the most widely grown millet variety in India. It is easy to digest and high in nutrition – having almost 8 times the iron content found in polished rice. Add a nutritious variety to your dosas by using kambu instead of normal rice. The traditional method of making it is time consuming as it requires fermentation. When in a rush, try this no-fermentation version of making this dosa!

Ingredients

Kambu (or pearl millet) flour : 1.5 cup
Whole urad dal : 1/2 cup
Methi seeds – 1/4 tsp
Salt as needed
Water as needed

Method

Wash and soak urad dal and fenugreek for 4 hours. Grind it to a smooth and fluffy batter.
Mix bajra/kambu flour with needed water making sure that there are no lumps.
Add the ground urad dal mix and mix it well.
Adjust water to get a dosa flour consistency.
Add salt if needed.
Prepare just like you prepare regular dosa on a medium flame.

Wellcure Tip:

Very nice recipe. When I make it at home for my kids, I make it thicker and spread some home made pizza sauce on top and thinly sliced vegetables. We call it a healthy pizza :)
