Varagu Arisi Dosai (Kodo Millet Dosai)
Varagu Arisi is one of the oldest crops that are cultivated in India. According to experts, it has been cultivated for about 3000 years.. The specific characteristic of this millet is its one of the few foods that has Thiamine. Thiamine is nothing but Vitamin B1, hence its used for preparing B Complex tablets..
