Soft Kambu Dosai / Bajra dosa

For this months SNC challenge Sowmya of Nivedhanam is Hosting from south team and santosh bangar is hosting from north team . They have challenged two delicious dishes and we got this delicious dosa challenge I was so happy to make them as they were very delicious and equally healthy too :). Thanks to sowmya for sharing this mind blowing breakfast dosa. Sowmya had used the whole pearl millet’s as i didn’t find them here in US I made a choice of using the bajra flour. I am super fan of bajra roti and this was a yummy way to try an south Indian dish with bajra. As you all be knowing the facts about bajra let me not go detailed on it health benefits and move about the recipe.

Kambu dosa can be prepared in two with addition of rice or without. The version which sowmya shared was a soft dosa version and to make it crispy I even tried the with addition of raw rice in my second batch . I will be posting the crisp version in a separate post. This is the soft version bajra dosa which was so soft and the veggies added to it makes it so yummy. This the perfect filling and delicious way to start a day filled with fiber this dosa stay soft even when they are cold if store in a hot case. My daughter just love it and I was so happy that she is having something healthy 🙂 You know the mom’s happiness right when kids eat healthy food we just feel that happiness can’t explain in words.. Ok enough of my blah blahhh lets move to the recipe thanks sowmya a ton 🙂
