Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups varagu arisi kodo millets
  • 1 cup ulutham paruppu whole skinned urad dal
  • Salt
  • Oil for making dosa

Instructions
 

To Make Varagu Arisi Dosa Batter

  • Wash and soak the millets and urad dal separately for about 1-2 hours
  • In a mixie, first grind the urad dal to a smooth paste using enough water
  • Set aside in a large bowl that can hold the entire batter
  • Then, grind the varagu arisi to a smooth paste with water
  • Add to the same bowl as the urad dal
  • Add salt and mix thoroughly to combine
  • Leave covered in a warm place (see notes if you live in a cooler place) for about 8-10 hours for the batter to ferment
  • After about 6 hours, my batter had fermented with nice bubbles showing on the surface of the batter. I left it out for another hour or so and then refrigerated the batter

To Make the Dosa

  • Heat a dosa tawa until hot. Grease with some oil
  • Take about ΒΌ cup batter and make into thin dosa
  • Add more oil on top as the dosa cooks
  • Flip when the first side is a light brown
  • Cook the second side until done
  • Serve hot with sambar and/or chutney
