Bajra Dosai

#BajraDosai  #KambuDosai : #Bajra is called #Pearlmillet in English. It is known as #kambu in Tamil. In market we get bajra flour, broken bajra and bajra grain. Porridge and Pongal can be prepared from broken bajra. Bajra grain can be cooked like rice and  taken with sambar. I usually prepare #dosai with bajra flour combining with whole wheat flour.
Here let me present you the method of preparing dosai from bajra flour.  The given ingredients are enough to make approximately 8 dosas.

The batter should be watery and if needed add some more water.
Now add all the ingredients given above to the batter.


Keep the prepared batter aside for half an hour.
After half an hour place a tawa on medium fire.

When tawa becomes hot, make dosai.
With the help of a ladle start pouring batter slowly from near the rim of the tawa to the centre circularly.
