Combine the soaked sanwa, potatoes and ¾ cup of water in a mixer and blend it till smooth. Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl, add 1¾ cups of water, cumin seeds, coriander, green chillies and rock salt and mix well. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) till red hot, sprinkle a little water on the tava (griddle) and wipe it off gently using a muslin cloth. Grease the tava (griddle), with a little oil and pour 1/3 cup (approx. 5 tbsp) of the batter on it and tilt the tava (griddle), in a circular motion to make a round dosa. Cover with a lid and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute. Remove the lid add 1 tsp of oil over it and on the sides and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, or till it is crisp from all the sides. Fold the dosa into a semi-circle. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 11 more dosas. Serve immediately with peanut curd chutney.

This is good because you get the same taste with a better grain, and also it can be had on fasting days. Though sanwa and sago combination is quite famous to make upvas dosa , here we have used an innovative batter of sanwa millet and boiled potatoes, perked up with cumin seeds and green chillies.
Next what comes to your mind is sambar which is served in most South Indian restaurants with dosa. Do not despair, we have farali sambar as an accompaniment to crispy varai dosa for Navratri. This together makes a completely satiating vrat fasting meal. However, it is often served with peanut curd chutney too!
Tips for sanwa dosa. 1. The batter for the dosa has to be smooth and free of lumps on blending. 2. This dosa batter is thin and it will spread on its own by tilting the pan. There is no need to spread the batter with a ladle. 3. Since this dosa is for fasting, we have used rock salt. But if you wish, you can replace it with table salt. 4. While cooking the Sanwa Dosa, make sure you cook it on a medium-low flame till it is crisp. Do not remove it while soft or increase the flame to high, because that will ruin the texture of the dosa. 5. Like most dosa, this too has to be served immediately.

Chana Dal Vada, with its crunchy texture and satiating homely flavour is an all-time favourite South Indian snack, commonly served as a starter at parties.
With a little twist, this normally deep-fried snack can be made healthier. In this recipe, we have cooked the vadas on a tava with minimal oil.
These Tava Chana Dal Vadas have an interesting texture, aroma and taste, which is a bit different from the deep-fried one but equally good. It is important to first shape the vada into a round and then flatten it till thin, because if it is thick, it will not cook properly and have a raw taste inside.
Make sure you cook the vada on a slow flame so that it gets completely cooked inside also. Shape one vada and a time and cook it immediately on the tava.
Do not shape them all at one go because they will lose their shape and also dry up before cooking. Serve these vadas immediately because they are made with less oil and tend to dry up after a while.
