  3. Hello Maam, I dont have Barnyard millet and don’t find it here. What other substitues can I use? This dosa looks so tempting.

    1. Hi Leena,
      Thanks for your visit. You can use either Barnyard Millet or Little Millet for this recipe. Add a tsp of toor dal while soaking. That will give more rich colour and crispiness.

    1. Hi Srimathy,
      You can use normal chillies. Beydagi chilli gives a nice red colour. Thanks for your visit.
