Trimillet Dosai ( முத்தானிய தோசை)

TriMillet Dosai 
முத்தானிய தோசை 


Ingredients:
Kodo Millet ( வரகு அரிசி) - 3 tbsp
Finger Millet ( கேழ்வரகு ) - 3 tbsp
Fox Millet ( தினை அரிசி ) - 3 tbsp
Toor Dhal ( துவரம் பருப்பு ) - 2 tbsp
Channa Dhal ( கடலை பருப்பு ) - 2 tbsp
Dry Red Chili ( காய்ந்த மிளகாய் ) - 1 or 2 
Onion ( பெரிய வெங்காயம்) - 2
Grated Coconut ( optional) ( துருவிய தேங்காய்) - 2 tbsp
Curry Leaves ( கறிவேப்பிலை) - 1 twig 
Coriander Leaves ( கொத்தமல்லி தளை) - 2 twigs
Mustard Seeds ( கடுகு ) - 1/2 tsp
Split Urad Dhal ( உளுந்தம்பருப்பு ) - 1/2 tsp
Cumin Seeds ( சீரகம் ) - 1/2 tsp 

Steps:
Clean and soak the three millets together  for an hour.
Soak the lentils, channa and toor dhal separately for half an hour.


In a blender, grind the millets and red chili to a fine paste. Then add the soaked lentils and grind together. Add salt to taste.
Peel and cut onions into small bite size and add to the batter.


In a ladle heat oil and splutter mustard, urad dhal followed by cumin seeds. Finally add the curry leaves. Add this seasoning to the batter. Stir in the finely chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut.
On a hot tawa, spread a laddle full of  batter and cook on both sides until crisp. 
Serve the dosai with coconut chutney and idli podi.
My Notes:
There are many brands of multi grain doasi mix available in the market. I have used and totally agree that it is of handy in this busy world. But making your own mix with whole grains  has its unique taste and benefits.
You can try this recipe once a while,
The advantage is, millets soak very fast and can be grinded easily also. Freshly ground whole grain has its taste. Once tried, one would prefer this to the ready mix.
I have added lentils - channa dhal and Toor dhal. This makes up for the protein part of the dish and also gives crispness to the dosai. This is optional. You can stick to the millets alone.
Grated coconut , though optional, can be added to,get a nice flavour.
