For a healthy start to the day, try making this delicious sabudana dosa with a side of coconut chutney, any day of the week. It is a quick recipe and can be paired with boiled aloo sabzi too.

Ingredients

1 cup sago or tapioca pearls 2 tablespoon yoghurt or dahi ½  cup samak or barnyard millet rice Salt as required Ghee, as needed

Step 1

Soak samak rice for about 30 minutes and sabudana for 4 hours.

Step 2

Transfer sabudana, samark rice, curd, and some water into a blender. Create a thick paste by blending.

Step 3

To change the consistency, add water and combine once more. Season with salt.

Step 4

In a bowl, pour the batter. The consistency should be somewhat thinner. Salt to taste and whisk vigorously after adding.

Step 5

Heat a tawa. Add 2 tablespoons of water and two drops of ghee. Wipe it lightly with a muslin towel.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of batter on the tawa using two ladles of batter and circular motions.

Step 7

Once brown and crispy, sabudana dosa is ready to be served. Sabudana is free of gluten and a great alternative to grains and flour made from wheat.
