Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup jowar sorghum flour
  • ¼ cup rice flour optional, for extra crispiness
  • ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
  • Water – as needed to make a smooth batter
  • Ghee or oil – for cooking

Method
 

Make the Batter:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine jowar flour, rice flour (if using), and salt.
  2. Gradually add water while whisking to create a smooth, pourable batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter—not too thick, not too runny.
Heat the Pan:
  1. Preheat a non-stick pan or tawa on medium heat. Lightly grease with ghee or oil.
Cook the Dosa:
  1. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread in a circular motion to form a thin crepe.
  2. Drizzle a little ghee around the edges and cook until golden brown and crisp. Flip if desired, though one side usually cooks perfectly.
Serve Hot:
  1. Serve your crispy, healthy Jowar Dosa hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar. For an extra touch, add a dollop of ghee on top.
💡 Tips & Variations
  1. Extra Crispy: Use a non-stick pan and cook on medium heat with a little ghee.
  2. Flavor Boost: Add finely chopped herbs, green chilies, or grated carrots to the batter.
  3. Quick Breakfast: This method is perfect when you don’t have time for fermentation.
  4. Soft Dosa: Cover the dosa with a lid while cooking to make it softer in the center.
