Jowar is mainly used to make bhakri or roti, called as jolada rotti or jonna rotti in kannada and telugu. Making jowar roti for a large family is time consuming and a fair amount of practice is needed to make them thin, soft and perfect. To make them good, we also need fresh flour which is sometimes not available here in Singapore. So as an alternate i began to make these jowar dosa since very long. These are very tasty, packed with protein and many other nutrients. These can also be had for dinner with good sides like sambar, vegetable chutney or a curry. You may also like this easy jowar upma. I am sharing 2 recipes both been adapted from a Telugu TV show, which my mom follows from few years. Dosa in the pictures is made using the recipe mentioned in the recipe card. With this batter you can make crispy thin dosas and even uttapam. I soak jowar/jonnalu for 6 hours. Even 4 hours will be fine but soaking for longer helps to blend them better and has health benefits too. Jowar dosa can also be made instantly by mixing jowar flour in plain dosa batter. For 1 cup batter, ¼ jowar flour can be mixed by adding little water. Jonna dosa can also be made without urad dal or without rice will share that sometime later. But for the regular breakfast i prefer to use urad dal since it has a good amount of protein.
