Kodo Millet Dosa | How to make Varagu Arisi Dosa
Kodo Millet Dosa or Varagu Arisi Dosa is a healthy breakfast made with Kodo Millet replacing rice in the batter. This is a fermented dish and is very healthy as well.
Ingredients
Ingredients Needed for the Batter
- 1 cup Kodo Millet
- 1/4 cup Split Black Gram / Urad dal
- 1/2 tsp Fenugreek Seeds / Methi
- 2 tbsp Thick Beaten Rice/ Poha
- Salt to Taste
- Cooking Oil to grease
Instructions
For the batter:
- Take Kodo Millet and wash well. Take urad dal and methi in another bowl. Wash well and soak both separately for about 4 hours.
- When you are ready to grind, 30 mins before the actual grinding, take the poha, wash well and soak with enough water.
- You can grind this in either a mixer or grinder. Make sure you drain the water from the urad dal and grind with just enough water to a fluffy batter.
- Then next add the drained Kodo millet and grind again. When the batter is almost ground smooth, add the drained poha and pulse a couple of times.
- Mix both the millet batter and urad batter well, beat well to aerate it well.
- Add salt and ferment overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- The batter is ready to be used by the morning. You can use it right away or refrigerate it until use.
To make dosa:
- Heat a nonstick tawa. Transfer the portion you would need to another bowl, mix well and take a ladle full of batter
- Pour the batter on the hot tawa and immediately spread it in a circular direction.
- Drizzle a few drops of oil or ghee over it.
- You can either cook as such or cover a lid over it on a medium flame for about 2 minutes. When you see the sides coming out, you can flip to the other side.
- If you have cooked it with a lid, you need not flip to the other side.
- Serve with a side dish of your choice.
Notes
If you are using regular iron cast tawa, make sure it is well greased and the dosa comes out easily.
