Quinoa(Thinai/Fox tail millet) Dosa

Dosa is one of our favorite family breakfast.It’s a filling  and a healthier food for both kids and adults.I always love to have it with Idli chutney powder.Quinoa is very rich in calcium, protein and being a complex carbohydrate makes this food a natural internal cleanser. This makes quinoa part of a good plant based calcium diet for vegans as well as those who are lactose intolerant.Although I have let it ferment, you may make it as soon as you grind too.

Ingredients Quinoa(Foxtail millet) -1 cup Brown rice -1/ 2 cup(If you are using brown rice reduce Quinoa to half cup) Idly rice -2 cups Urad dal -1/2 to 1 cup Salt – to taste Methi seeds -1 tsp

Add salt and allow to ferment for 6 to 8 hours.Let it cook until crisp on one side, flip and cook the other side. The procedure is exactly the same as you would follow for regular dosa batter.

Served with 

Pudina chutney
