Millets dosa


Ingredients :

Urad dal : 1 cup
Pearl millets : 2 cups
Brown rice : 1 cup 
water as needed 
salt as per taste 
oil 

Method: 
1. Wash urad dal , pearl millets , brown rice  in tap water 3-4 times draining water every time. Soak all the ingredients in water for a minimum of 2 hours up to 4 hours.
2.Soak all the ingredients separately. I used brown rice. You can use white rice  also. 
3.After soaking for 4 hours, we need to grind the ingredients in the following manner. Lets first grind the urad dal. I use a wet grinder to grind. You can use a food processor or mixie too. Urad dal when ground, triples in volume in a stone wet grinder. Be alerted that the urad dal wont increase in volume if ground in a mixie or a food processor. That’s fine. Grind until the dal turns into an incredibly smooth batter. 
4.Add water in regular intervals while grinding. Add up to 2 cups of water. It took 30 minutes in the traditional stone grinder. Transfer the batter to a big bowl and set aside.
5.Adding rice and the millet to grinder. Slowly start grinding and add up to 2 cups of water in intervals while grinding. Grind until the batter is smooth. It took 40 minutes in the grinder. 
6 Transfer the batter and add it to the urad dal batter and mix well for 5 min. Keep the batter in air tight container for fermation .
7.Once the batter is fermented and salt mix well and store in the refrigerator and use it within 3-4 days.
8.When ready for dosa, heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium high heat. half a cup of batter and spread on the pan.Cook the crepe for about half a minute on each side, until the bottom is light brown.
9.server hot with chutney
