Ingredients

• 1 cup Foxtail millet
• 0.25 cup Urad dal
• 0.25 cup Chana dal
• 0.5 teaspoon Methi seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the foxtail millet thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rinsed millet, urad dal, and chana dal. Add methi seeds to the mixture.

Step 3

Fill the bowl with enough water to cover the mixture and soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal results.

Step 4

Once soaked, drain the water completely and transfer the mixture to a blender.

Step 5

Add about 1 cup of fresh water to the blender and grind the mixture into a smooth, thick batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to a bowl and add salt. Mix well, cover, and let it ferment in a warm place for 8-10 hours or until you notice slight fermentation.

Step 7

After fermentation, gently stir the batter. Add water if needed to achieve a pouring consistency, similar to pancake batter.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil.

Step 9

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan and spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin disc.

Step 10

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa to help it cook and crisp up.

Step 11

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to brown and the surface looks cooked (no wet batter visible).

Step 12

Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook for another minute on the other side until golden.

Step 13

Remove from pan and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 14

Serve the dosas hot with your choice of chutney or sambar.
