Barnyard Millet Dosa

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

• 1½ cup kuthiraivali or barnyard millet
• 1 big boiled potato, grated
• 2 green chillies
• 1-inch ginger, ground
• Rock salt or regular salt, to taste
• Ghee or oil, for frying
• Mint, coriander chutney and sabudana khichdi, to serve

Method

• In a channi or colander wash the millets well under running water to remove any impurities.
  Transfer in a big pot filled with water and soak for an hour.
  Drain off the water and wash once the millets again before transferring into a grinder jar.
  Add some water, ginger paste, green chillies, salt, boiled potatoes and pulse until you get a smooth consistency.
  Add more water if required. Make sure the batter is not too thick nor too runny.
  Transfer into a bowl and keep aside.
• Heat a little of the oil or ghee in a griddle or heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat.
  Pour a ladleful of batter onto the centre of the pan and spread it outwards in a circular motion.
  Pour a tsp of ghee or oil around the edges of the dosa and let it cook for a few minutes.
  Flip and let the dosa cook until light brown.
  Fold, take off heat and place on a plate.
  Serve warm with freshly ground mint and coriander chutney and sabudana khichdi on the side.
