Ingredients

• 1 cup Foxtail Millet
• 0.5 cup Urad Dal (split black gram)
• 1 teaspoon Fenugreek Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the foxtail millet and urad dal under running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In two separate bowls, soak the foxtail millet and urad dal along with the fenugreek seeds in enough water for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Step 3

Drain the soaked millet and urad dal, and reserve the water.

Step 4

In a blender, grind the millet, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds together, gradually adding reserved water to make a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover it, and let it ferment in a warm place for 8 to 12 hours or overnight until it nearly doubles in volume.

Step 6

Once fermented, add salt to the batter and mix well.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium heat, and lightly grease it with oil.

Step 8

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the skillet and quickly spread it outwards in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 9

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the edges start to brown and the surface looks cooked, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully flip the dosa and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until crisp and golden.

Step 11

Remove the dosa from the skillet and serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
