Thinai Arisi Dosai (Foxtail Millet Dosai)

Thinai Arisi Dosai I have been receiving a number of queries from our Blog followers regarding Millet recipes. I am hearing that Many of their family members didn't prefer to eat millets and they requested me to help on it. The basic reason why most of the people don't like  Millets is because of its peculiar taste; I would suggest to include the millets  in the form of  Dosai, Idli , Uthapam or Paniyaram instead of preparing pongal or variety rice with it.  This method has worked for us and I bet your family members too will  love it.

Last week i had prepared Batter for Rice Idli ; The batter looked very odd and whitish to me. I was worried what went wrong and suddenly it came to my mind that its been a long time I had prepared Rice Idli batter. Since everyone in our home including my kid started liking millets, I never thought  of Rice Idli or Dosai. Millets Idli and Dosai have replaced our Rice Idli and Dosai Try this method... It is one of the best ways to include millets in your diet.

Today's recipe is tasty Thinai Arisi Dosai..
