I have seen a lot of friends posting on Quinoa dosa and wanted to try. Then I thought why not make it just like regular idli. Just like Millet Idli, I made these idli’s and we absolutely did not feel the difference. I did make dosa with the remaining batter and turned out super awesome.

To check on how to make normal idli/dosa batter, cilck here.

• Peerkangai Thol Thugayal/Ridge Gourd Skin Peel Chutney

Ingredients:

Quinoa: 1 cup

Idli Rice : 1 cup

Urad dal : 1/2 cup

Salt : as needed

Water : as needed

Method:

• Soak quinoa, idli rice together overnight.
• Soak urad dal for 1 hr.
• Grind urad dal to fine batter, place it in a bowl. Use little water to grind. Do not make it watery.
• Grind the quinoa and rice together and grind with little water, as it easily leaves a lot of water.
• Combine all of them together with around 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
• Mix well and ferment it overnight.
• Next day without mixing, grease idli plate and pour batter.
• Steam for 12 to 15 mins.
• Serve with any chutney or sambar.

After a day’s time, I added a bit more water and mix batter. Use this for Dosa. I forgot to take pics 🙂 will update the next time I prepare this dosa.

Most of my blogger friends have been posting on this millets idli, dosa. I was so impressed and wanted to try it. I somehow couldn’t find millets in market. Maybe I am not looking at the right place. Or I would forget to buy it.

But when ever we visit Indian store we always find the millet flour pack readily available. When Ragi idli/Dosa can be made with ragi flour, why not millet idli with millet flour. So I gave it a try and we liked it. Here is the recipe..

Ingredients:

Millet Flour : 1 cup

Idli Rice : 1 cup

Urad dal : 1/2 cup

Salt : 1 tablespoon

Water : as needed to grind batter

Method:

• Soak idli rice for 5 hours. Urad dal for 45 mins to 1 hr.
• In a grinder or mixer, grind urad dal to a fine batter. Then add rice and grind it. (make sure water is used as required for idli batter)
• Once it turns to be a soft batter, remove and in a medium mixing bowl, add the batter with millet flour, salt.
• If needed mix water and make sure not to have lumps. Also make sure the batter is not too thick nor runny.
• Allow it to ferment for 8 hours in a warm place.
• In a idli maker, grease idli plates with oil. Pour batter and steam for 10 to 12 mins in high.
• Remove idli’s from idli plate and serve.

Serve it with any gravy or chutney.

I served with Vengaya kose, a chettinad gravy which is prepared for breakfast. Recipe to follow soon.
