Proso Millet/Panivaragu is rich in protein. When it is fermented to make dosas, its nutritional value increases further.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Proso Millet
  • 1/2 Cup Urad Dal
  • 1 tsp Methi Seeds
  • 1.25 tsp Salt

Directions:

  1. Wash and soak the millet, dal and methi seeds together for 4 hours.
  2. Using a blender grind to a smooth batter.
  3. Add salt and allow it to ferment for 8 hours or overnight.
  4. Make dosas and serve with sambar/chutney/podi.

    1. Hi Priya,
      I normally grind in less quantity which will last just for 2 days. Millets tend to ferment faster than rice.

  9. Millet dosas is another replacement to our regular rice dosas which are consumed as regular breakfasts in many homes. It turns out to be soft and we end up eating a little more which in turn helps us to keep healthy.

    1. Hi Rama,
      Dosas are loved by all. We actually don’t find any difference in taste between rice and millet dosas. A low calorie dosa to indulge! Your dosas are crispy and the golden colour is very attractive! Thanks for sharing your experience.
