Ingredients:

Jowar Flour : 1 ½ cup
Moong dal : 1 ½ cup
Water : as needed to grind batter
Salt : as needed
Black pepper : ½ teaspoon ( can replace with green chili)
Red Chili : 1
Garlic : 2 pods
Ginger : 1 inch piece
Grated coconut : 2 tablespoons
Cilantro/Coriander Leaves : Handful finely chopped
Oil : to drizzle over dosa

Method:

Soak moong dal in water for a minimum of 3 hours to overnight.
Drain water and grind it to a fine paste with black pepper, garlic, ginger, red chili with minimum water.
Now mix the jowar flour with this paste along with salt, grated coconut, cilantro leaves.
Bring it to a bit thicker dosa batter consistency.
Heat a dosa tawa , drizzle one teaspoon oil over the tawa.
Using a ladle pour batter in the center of the tawa and spread it.
Drizzle oil over the dosa.
These dosa’s will be thick.
After the first side gets cooked for 2 mins, flip sides and cook for another 2 to 3 mins.
Serve with any spicy chutney.

Tips

This batter is a little thicker than normal dosa batter and thinner than idli batter.
You can add any veggies like carrot, cabbage of your choice and mix with batter.
Jowar tends to break the dosa texture, so make sure it is cooked well the first side only then flip to the other side.
