Kuthiraivali Dosa | Banyard Millet Crepe | Millet Breakfast Recipe

Kuthiraivali Rice Dosa | Banyard Millet Crepe | Millet Dosa is a healthy, tasty South Indian special dosa using the short grain called kuthiraivali. It is prepared like our regular dosa except for using millet in the recipe in place of  idli rice|raw rice. One could not notice any difference in the taste or texture from the regular dosa but may be the colour shows the difference. That too all because I’ve used semi-polished rice in the recipe. There are also 100% polished millets available in the stores & in that case there will not be much colour difference too.
