Mixed Millets Dosa

When breakfast is the important meal of the day, then it should be healthy and filling. Having nutrient and proteinrich breakfast makes a delicious way to jump-start your metabolism.

The ancient millets are forgotten and neglected for decades are coming back into many people’s lives as people are realising the health benefits of these ancient grains.

Millets have very high nutritional value, unsaturated fats, proteins, minerals, fibre…adding a mix of different types of millets and lentils into your breakfast means…you are having the most nutritional and healthy breakfast.

In this recipe, I have mixed some of the millets and lentils together to get a dosa batter which gives a very tasty, healthy and crispy dosas.

Every once in a while I prepare such dosas to add more nutrition to our daily tiffin items. This is also a great way to reduce the consumption of white rice.

This is a fool proof method of making millet dosa batter in a mixer grinder. Let’s have a look at how to make healthy millet dosa batter in a mixie at home.
