Foxtail Millet Blackgram Dosa (Thinai karuppu ulundhu dosai)

Azhagar kovil dosai is the one made using raw rice and black uraddal with few spices added to it. I thought of doing it with a slight variation by adding millet and idly rice to make it healthy. Check out my other DOSA / UTHAPPAM / ADAI VARIETIES.....and MILLET RECIPES....
