    Jowar Idli & Dosa Recipe

    Cholam idli and dosa is one recipe which i made recently and loved it instantly. It is a simple recipe and taste really delicious. The batter made is multi purpose, you can make idli, dosa, kuzhi paniyaram, uthappam using that batter. The idlies turns out so soft and fluffy. Dosa turns out crispy..I have already share cholam kuzhipaniyaram here.

    About this Recipe

    Sorghum is a grass family genus with approximately 25 species of flowering plants. Some of these species are grown as cereals for human consumption, while others are grown in pastures for livestock. Sorghum bicolor, for example, was domesticated in Africa and has since spread throughout the world. Because sorghum grains
    are unrelated to wheat, they are suitable for those suffering from celiac disease or gluten intolerance. In India, this gluten-free flour has traditionally been used to make pancakes, porridges, beer, and flatbreads such as jowar roti. Sorghum grain contains more protein and less fat than corn.

    Is it healthy to eat Jowar dosa?

    It is a gluten-free grain that is high in nutrients. It is highly recommended for people with diabetes, thyroid issues, or who follow a gluten-free diet. Jowar helps to strengthen the bones, making it ideal for children. It also aids in the reduction of cholesterol and the protection of heart health.

    Ingredients for Jowar (Sorghum) Idli & Dosa Recipe :

    Cholam / Jowar / Sorghum :
    The flavour of sorghum is mild and earthy. It has the texture and flavour of wheat berries, and it has been dubbed the most wheat-like gluten free flour.

    Urad dal / Ulundu Paruppu :
    Urad dal has a mildly bitter flavour and a slightly slippery texture that cooks up thick, making it ideal for use as a binding agent in dishes such as idlis and dosas.
