    Jowar Dosa (aka Sorghum Crepes) are healthy and delicious.

    Sorghum Crepes We are starting the final week of this month's Blogging marathon and my theme for this week is 'Crepes for All time'. So for the first day I have a healthy, nutritious and delicious Jowar dosa aka jonna dosa aka sorghum crepe. These dosa don't need any soaking, grinding or fermenting. These dosa are instant variety and can be made in less than an hour.Sorghum CrepesThis instant jowar dosa recipe is from a Telugu cooking show. I loved the way the chef made these dosa. They looked so crispy and lacy on TV that I had to try it out for myself. I wasn't disappointed with my results -- they were exactly as I expected.Sorghum CrepesRegular rawa dosa are not too healthy with the addition of all refined ingredients. But these jowar dosas fair much better with the inclusion of millets instead of all purpose flour. The only change I made to the recipe was to use buttermilk to mix the flours. I think that adds a little tang and flavor to the dosa.

    bm-logoLets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 82.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup Jowar/ Sorghum flour

    • Drizzle oil over the dosa and cook on medium flame until the dosa is crispy, about 2~3 minutes. Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve hot with chutney.
