It’s just me and this simple barnyard millet set dosa. Breakfast or dinner: we’re talking about millet goodness that meets the completely fluffy and porous set dosa. These thick pancakes are absolutely health meets taste kind of food. Because you never know what they made up of just by tasting it. The look and taste is just same as the conventional set dosa made from RICE. But in reality these have millets which said to be better cereals than RICE and so I am discovering more and more recipes out of them. On top of that, I have many readers who actually look for diabetic friendly recipes. The other day when I was scanning the keywords through which traffic landed up to my blog, the term caught my eye is “diabetic friendly recipe”. I appreciate the Google Search Console for giving us, the bloggers, insight on how people land up to our blog. On the basis of which we can take action. And hence here comes barnyard millet set dosa, a true diabetic friendly recipe.
The recipe isn’t new to you all my friends!! Because you are extremely talented foodie friends of my web world. So the basic idea here is to replace rice by millets. I have chosen barnyard millet which is also known as “OODALU” in Kannada. The proportion of ingredients is as important as the fermentation period here. Well fermented batter can only provide the really soft and porous set dosa. The texture on top is holey and spongy where as the bottom gets golden brown to give visual treat to food lovers. You can even check barnyard millet idli to make healthy breakfasts in a row to empty the stock of millets.
Let me also know how creatively you have used your batch of millets!! Happy cooking!!
