You can even use barnyard millet (sama chawal, varai), jowar, pearl millet (bajra), finger millet (ragi) , foxtail millet, little millet or kodo millet etc. Feel free even to use quinoa for millet in the recipe. Sabudana: Available as sabakki or tapioca pearls in Indian or Asian stores. Curd: Yogurt or buttermilk Spices: green chilies and ginger for flavor. Salt to taste. To make farali green chutney, you need coconut, green chilies, coriander leaves, and salt. Check out the recipe card for the full list of the ingredients.
Step-by-step instructions
Making of the dosa batter
Nicely wash sabudana in water and soak in ½ cup of water for 3 to 5 hours or overnight. Similarly, nicely wash millet and soak it for 3 to 5 hours or overnight. Drain the water from the millet and add it to the mixie jar. Similarly, drain any water from the soaked sabudana and add it to the mixie jar. To this, add yogurt, green chilies, and ginger and grind to a coarse paste. Now add approximately ⅓ to ½ cup of water and grind to a smooth paste. Transfer it to a bowl. Add salt and mix well. The Dosa batter is ready.
Crispy sago millet dosa (restaurant style)
Heat skillet(dosa tawa). Add a laddle full of batter and spread in a circular motion. Make it as thin as possible. Drizzle oil. Cover and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook on medium flame until it becomes crisp and golden brown. Serve hot with vrat ki chutney, and enjoy.
Crispy millet dosa (rava dosa style)
Add another half cup of water to the dosa batter for running water consistency. Check and adjust salt. When the tava is hot, pour the batter into the pan. Drizzle oil. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes on medium flame. Open the lid and continue to cook until golden and crispy. Serve and enjoy with farali chutney.
To make green chutney
To mixie jar or blender, add coconut, green chilies, coriander leaves, salt to taste, and very little water and grind to a smooth paste.
Tips
The batter should be medium thick if you want to spread the thin restaurant-style crispy dosa, and it should be watery if you want a crispy dosa like rava dosa. You can add or skip chilies and ginger. You can add cumin seeds and chopped coriander leaves for additional flavor.
