I started this blog in 2008, and this is the first time I'm
celebrating it. I started cooking only after marriage and I'm no expert
in cooking. I have a long way to go. But this journey has been nice, I
have met so many people who have gone on to become very good friends. I
must thank the blogging community for all the support, I could not have
done much with out you guys. I thank all my readers and blog friends who
encourage me with their constant comments. Instead of making something
sweet I decided to do something healthy for a change. Do check the
recipe.

Soak the millets and dals for four to five hours. Grind all ingredients to a smooth consistency and prepare thin dosas. This is an incredibly healthy recipe. Thinai, Samai and Varagu are traditional millets and are a good source of proteins, fibre and calcium. They are also filling and is good for diabetics. Even Barnyard Millet or Kuthiravaali millet can be added to make dosa. Serve with chutney of choice.
