I love to make these healthy ,instant dosas whenever I have noting planned ahead for my dinner.Millet is tasty, with a mildly sweet, nut-like flavor and contains a myriad of beneficial nutrients. In India , its used in most of health drinks and given to people who are weak or thin to gain strength and weight.

• 1 onion chopped finely

• bunch of coriander leaves chopped finely

• 10 curry leaves(optional)

• olive oil as required

• salt to taste

Preparation:

6. Heat griddle until sizzling hot .

7. Pour the dosa batter just like normal dosa.

8. Sprinkle the finely choppped onions on top and you can press it to dosa with spatula if its does not stick to dosa.
