About This Recipe

Foxtail Millet Masala Dosa


Foxtail millet masala dosa is a crisp, golden dosa made from a fermented batter of foxtail millet and lentils, filled with a flavorful spiced potato masala, offering a nutritious alternative to the traditional rice-based dosa. The dosa has a light, slightly nutty flavor and pairs perfectly with coconut chutney and sambar, making it a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Foxtail millet is rich in dietary fiber, plant-based protein, and essential minerals such as iron and magnesium, and its low glycemic index helps regulate blood sugar levels while providing sustained energy.

It supports digestion, promotes gut health, aids in weight management by keeping you full for longer, and contributes to heart health by helping reduce bad cholesterol. Being naturally gluten-free and easy to digest, foxtail millet masala dosa is a healthy, balanced, and delicious choice suitable for all age groups.
