Jowar (Sorghum) Dosa

 Sorghum is a popular food  grain used in Africa and Asia. It looks similar to wheat berries.  Looking for something new to make for dinner last night, I came upon a dosa recipe on a Face Book group I am a part of. It looked crispy like rava dosa. It was actually made of Sorghum flour. 

Ingredients for 8 dosas:

1 Cup Sorghum (Jowar) flour

2 Cups water

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 onion, chopped

1/4 Cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 green chili, chopped

salt to taste

1/4 teaspoon asafoetida

Method:

1. Take sorghum in a medium bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups water and whisk to a batter without any lumps.

                                          

2. Add cumin seeds, onion, chili, cilantro, salt and asafoetida. Mix well. Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

                                            

3. Add 1/2 cup water to the batter to make a really thin batter.

                                                             

4. Heat the griddle. Spread 1 teaspoon ghee on the entire surface of the griddle. 

                                                       

5. Mix the batter well and pour 1/2 cup of batter over the entire surface of the griddle.

                                                         

6. Cover and cook for 3 minutes on low flame. Uncover and spread 1/2 teaspoon ghee.

                                                             

7.  Place the cover back and cook for  3 minutes or until the dosa is crisp. Gently fold and slide onto a plate.

                            

 8. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Make sure to stir the batter well every time before pouring it on the griddle. Serve hot dosa with coconut chutney.
