Kodo millet /varagu can be used to make dosai and idlies and other south Indian main dishes like our normal idli rice dishes. Its taste is the same as our rice idlies, dosais and so on. Hence rice can be replaced with this little millet.
We are going to try varagu arisi dosai in this post.
We are going to use the same proportions of ingredients as for the regular rice dosais.

Blend urad dal and fenugreek seeds in a mixer to a smooth consistency by adding water little by little.
collect in a vessel.
Blend the Kodo millet into a fine consistency by adding water little by little.
Transfer the Kodo millet batter into the urad dal batter.

In the morning. heat the dosa griddle smearing the peeled and cut shallot.
Mix and pour the Kodo millet dosa batter on the dosa pan and spread the batter into a fine circle. Cover it with the lid.

Lift the lid and drizzle one spoon of sesame oil around the dosa.
Smear with dosa evenly using stapula .
Flip the other side.
