Ingredients

Optional Additions

These additions can improve flavour, colour, and family acceptance, especially for children.

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.
