Jowar Instant Dosa – a healthy, crisp and gluten-free dosa made with sorghum millet
Sorghum or jowar is a healthy millet used to make bhakri, porridge, popcorn and many other dishes. It is a gluten-free millet and a good substitute for rice and wheat.
Jowar is called sorghum, milo, Indian millet, cholam, jawari and jonnalu in different Indian languages. It is used in almost all the states of India.
Jowar is a nutrient-dense, gluten-free ancient grain packed with dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates and essential minerals. It supports digestion, helps manage blood sugar, supports heart health, aids weight management and helps strengthen bones. It is naturally gluten-free.
In rural areas, jowar is mostly used to make roti or bhakri. However, making roti with gluten-free millet flour can be slightly tricky and needs some practice to make it perfectly. Making dosa or cheela with a batter is much easier.
This jowar dosa is popular in Maharashtra and is mostly made for breakfast. It is easy and quick to make with just a few simple ingredients.
It is a light, healthy, gluten-free and easy-to-make breakfast recipe. Do try this dosa and serve it with any spicy or tangy chutney.
