Method
Batter Preparation
① Take Mil8 Health Mix Powder and millet rava in a mixing bowl.
② Add curd, salt, and 2 cups of water first. Mix well without lumps.
③ Add more water little by little until you get the required batter consistency.
④ Rest the batter for 15 to 20 minutes. This helps the rava absorb water and gives better texture.
⑤ After resting, check the batter again. If it has become thick, add a little water and adjust.
⑥ Add chopped onion, green chilli, curry leaves, ginger, and any optional vegetables.
⑦ Mix well.
For Making Dosa
① Heat a dosa tawa on medium flame.
② Grease lightly with oil or ghee.
③ Pour one ladle of batter and spread gently into a thin dosa.
④ Drizzle a little oil around the edges.
⑤ Cook on medium flame until the bottom turns firm and lightly golden.
⑥ Flip only if needed. If the dosa is thin and cooked well, it can also be served without flipping.
⑦ Serve hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, sambar, or curd.
Batter Consistency for Dosa
The batter should be pourable and slightly thinner than regular dosa batter.
For Making Uttapam
① Keep the batter slightly thicker than dosa batter.
② Heat a tawa on medium flame and grease lightly.
③ Pour one ladle of batter and spread only slightly. Do not make it too thin.
④ Add extra onion, carrot, coriander, or curry leaves on top if needed.
⑤ Drizzle oil around the sides.
⑥ Cover and cook on low to medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
⑦ Flip carefully and cook the other side until done.
⑧ Serve hot.
Batter Consistency for Uttapam
The batter should be thick, spoonable, and easy to spread lightly.
Yield
This recipe makes approximately:
12 to 14 dosas
or
8 to 10 medium uttapams
Yield may vary depending on thickness and size.
Cooking Tips for Best Results
① Do not skip resting time
The rava needs time to absorb moisture. Resting helps the batter bind better.
② Adjust water slowly
Health mix powders absorb water differently. Add water gradually instead of adding everything at once.
③ Use medium flame
High flame may brown the outside quickly while the inside remains soft.
④ For crisp dosa
Make the batter slightly thinner and spread it thin on a hot tawa.
⑤ For soft uttapam
Keep the batter thicker and cook covered on low to medium flame.
⑥ For children
Reduce green chilli and add grated carrot or finely chopped onion for better taste.
⑦ If dosa breaks
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of rice flour or rava, rest for 10 minutes, and try again.
Storage
The batter is best used fresh.
If needed, it can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Before using again, mix well and adjust water if the batter becomes thick.
Cooked dosa or uttapam tastes best when served hot.
