Brown Top Millet Dosa Batter Recipe

Wholesome | Gluten-Free | Diabetic Friendly

Looking for a healthy twist to your daily dosa? Meet your new favorite: Brown Top Millet Dosa β€” a simple, gut-friendly, and naturally gluten-free batter made with love and ancient grains.


🧺 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Brown Top Millet
  • ΒΌ cup Urad Dal (split black gram)
  • 2 tbsp Poha (flattened rice) (optional, for softness)
  • Β½ tsp Fenugreek Seeds
  • Salt – to taste
  • Water – as needed

πŸ₯£ How to Prepare the Batter:

πŸ‘‰ Step 1: Soak

Rinse millet, urad dal, fenugreek seeds, and poha thoroughly. Soak them all together in water for 6–8 hours or overnight.

πŸ‘‰ Step 2: Grind

Drain the water and grind the mixture into a smooth batter. Add water gradually to get a pourable consistency – not too thick, not too runny.

πŸ‘‰ Step 3: Ferment

Transfer the batter to a deep vessel. Cover and leave it in a warm place for 8–12 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the batter rises and bubbles appear on top.

πŸ‘‰ Step 4: Salt & Store

Add salt just before you’re ready to make dosas. Stir gently and your batter is ready to use!
