KAMBU DOSAI-BAJRA DOSA /PEARL MILLET DOSA RECIPE


Kambu-dosai

Last week i shared instant millet dosa using mixed millets energy mix powder.Though i make it very often,i wanted to try a dosa recipe with kambu (in tamil)/Pearl millet ( in English)/Bajra(in Hindi) as i got tempted by seeing my fellow bloggers post.Recently my friend Shalini was telling me about kambu dosai which she has been making for her breakfast regularly.So I took this recipe from her and tried today for the first time.She told me to use brown rice and pearl millet but i used raw rice as i din’t have brown rice in stock.So feel free to use brown rice instead of raw rice in this recipe.You will get good results and its a healthier option too.I will try to post kambu adai and kambu koozh recipes soon.Lets see how to prepare this kambu dosai for breakfast/dinner.This dosa tastes the best when it is served hot.It becomes slightly chewy when its cooled down but overall its a very flavorful and healthy breakfast recipe.Check out my other millet recipes below.

Grind it to a smooth paste adding enough water and salt.(I used the soaked water itself).Transfer the batter to a vessel. Kambu-dosai-step1

  • Let the batter ferment over night or for 10-12 hours.The next day morning batter would have raise well.Mix it well and check the consistency.If it is too thick,add little water say 1/4 cup and mix well.Heat dosa pan and pour a ladleful of batter.Spread it well if u want to make thin,lacy dosas OR spread it little if u want thick soft dosas.Make it as per your wish.Drizzle a tsp of oil and cook for a minute.Cover it with a lid and cook the dosa if u want crispy ones.Do not flip the dosa.If u want thick dosas like utappam,flip the dosa and cook for a while.Remove and serve hot.

    Enjoy with your favourite chutney.I served it with coconut chutney and idli podi !




  • Note

  • Use enough water while grinding the batter.Batter has to ferment for 10 hours minimum in cold weather.If the climate is hot,this batter will ferment quickly and it will become sour.So keep an eye.
  • Use brown rice instead of raw rice.U can use idli rice too.
  • If u don’t want to use rice at all,just follow 2:1 ratio of kambu & urad dal and grind the batter as mentioned above.
  • This dosa becomes soft when its cooled down.So serve n eat hot !


  • Have this healthy millet dosa for your breakfast/dinner.I enjoyed it with coconut chutney,idli podi and had milk with Lion dates syrupHappy
