Another dosa dish is the barley coconut dosa. This dosa is incredibly flavorful and does not require fermentation. Because this is not a fermented recipe, soak the rice/dal for a longer period of time, such as overnight or at least 6 hours. If you wish to ferment the batter, add it immediately before forming the dosa. It is not difficult to incorporate millets or whole grains into your diet.
In most dosa batters, you can safely substitute 50% millets or other grains for rice. You can experiment with ratios to discover a composition that is suitable for you and your family. 50% always works for me, especially when cooking dosas. I’ve never made idli with this batter. Please let me know if you try.
