Thinai Dosai / Fox Millet Dosai

I always wanted to post recipes using whole grains like millet, kambu and stuffs like that, I always buy them when i go for shopping but keeps forgeting about them. And finally they will get spoiled and i throw them away. Last time when i was shopping i bought these and as soon as i reach home i got into action, before i forget. I made a dosa batter out of this.

 
It is so easy to make but ridiculously healthy for you. It really calls for simple ingredients. But the end product is so worth it.
