Barnyard millet dosa is a crispy, flavour-packed dosa just like the Rava Dosa, one of South India’s most famous snacks. Once cooked, it is difficult to differentiate between Sanwa Dosa and Rava Dosa!

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.
