But if I serve manchurian to dosa my husband will reject as they are not partners.. Finally my tricky brain gave me this idea to serve as Gobi manchurian dosa :) .. My neighbour kid was also there with us for dinner ,she just amazed and commented “Aunty you are just awesome”..I was in cloud nine .Immediately I grabbed my camera and clicked pictures.

Hi Everyone, KAMBU DOSA!! Bajra or Dark millet is very very good for health .But making tasty dishes out of it is important in our home.Even though I make healthier food if it is not tasty no one will eat it. Dosa is favorite for everyone so I add all healthy ingredients in dosa batter and make yummy,crispy yet healthy breakfast and dinner. My mother advises to add kambu along with urad dal while grinding to make kambu dosa.But I will not prepare in that way , Bcoz it looks like I need to make same variety of dosa for 2 -3 days and everyone feels bored. So I make basic dosa batter (recipe here) and refrigerate it . Whatever variety dosa I want to prepare I will add that powder or puree to required amount of dosa batter just 7 hours before cooking and leave them for fermentation. This way I can make variety of dosas in a week and it wont get repeated also. Kambu dosa I will make sprouts ( recipe here ) with kambu , sundry for a day and grind them to fine powder and s...
