Recipe- Healthy Breakfast Dish Millet Dosa

Millet dosa is a healthy breakfast dish made with millets. This crispy, gluten-free dosa (crepe) is diabetic-friendly and made without rice. I use foxtail millet and pearl millet along with skinned black gram to make the batter. The batter of this dosa is fermented, just like the regular dosa batter.
