Instant Millet Dosa Recipe

  Instant millet dosa recipe, how to make high protein millet dosa with sama millet also known as little millet. Millets are highly nutritious and is completely gluten free. I personally include millets in my family's diet and I am always trying out different ways to incorporate them in my diet. This high protein instant millet dosa is loaded with fibre and protein from the sprouted mung dal. Its easy to make and the best thing is you just need to blend everything  and you can make instant dosa provided you have some soaked millets at hand. Soaking millets are a must to help release the phytates, the rule is to soak millets longer than you soak rice. Soaking helps in better nutrient absorption and also in good digestion. So, personally when I plan to make this recipe what I do is I soak the millets at night if its for breakfast or in the morning if it is for dinner. Planning ahead helps a lot in balancing your meals.  Ingredients: 3 cups moong sprouts 1/2 cup little mille...

In the cold monsoons of Coorg, coal roasted corn on the hob was a thing! I never enjoyed the spice masala on the roasted corn cob; I liked it plain with just salt and lemon.  Moving back to Kerala, it was one thing I missed during the monsoons but since a couple of years, sweet corns are available at the local markets. I always prefer to include seasonal fruits and vegetables in my diet. So, when in season, why deny it!! To thicken the soup...
