The batter is watery and does not need to soak, grind or ferment. This makes it great for when you want to cook quickly. It is a good option for busy mornings or quick meals.

You don’t have to plan ahead. Just mix the ingredients, check the batter consistency, and start making dosas. The texture is like rava dosa—light and crispy with small holes on top. You will like how it tastes. It is a simple recipe but very satisfying and comforting dish.

You can use any millet flour you like. Ragi, bajra, jowar, or multi-millet flour all work well. Rice flour helps make the dosa crisp. Onions and curry leaves add nice flavor. This dosa is easy, tasty, and healthier than regular dosa. It is a great way to add variety to your meals.

How to make Millet Flour Dosa Step by Step

1.In a mixing bowl – add millet flour, rice flour, onion, curry leaves, chili and required salt. Mix it well. Then add water little by little.

2.Mix it well using a whisk without any lumps. It should be runny so that while we pour the batter should spread by itself. Now the batter is ready.

3.Heat a dosa tawa, take a ladle full of batter and pour it first in the outer circle, then pour to fill in the center to fill the uncovered areas like how we do for rava dosa. Cook in mediium flame. The dosa should be thin so don’t pour over then we will get thick dosas. Drizzle oil and cook until the top looks cooked. Fold and serve hot.

Your dosa is ready! Serve with idli podi / any chutney of your choice.

Expert Tips

• Use any millet flour – you can use ragi, bajra, jowar or even a mix of millets can be used for this recipe.
• Batter Consistency – The batter should be very watery so that it spreads on its own when poured.
• Do not spread – Pour it from a height in a circular motion like rava dosa. Let it naturally fill in the gaps.
• Preheat well – The pan must be hot. Sprinkle water to check—if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready.
• Adjust consistency – The batter thickens up as it rests. You can add a little water and stir before making each dosa.

Serving & Storage

Serve them hot and fresh with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or idli podi.
These dosas taste best when served immediately as they lose their crispness on cooling.

You can store the leftover batter in the fridge for a day. Before using, bring it to room temperature, stir well, and add a little water if it has thickened.
