    Vendhaya Dosai | Vendhayam dosa | Fenugreek dosa | Dosa recipe | Dosa variety | south Indian dosa recipe | tiffin variety is a South Indian breakfast. Fenugreek (vendayam) gives a soft texture to the dosai. Usually, Idli rice is used for the preparation, here is a version with millets. Fenugreek Millet dosa is also a good postpartum recipe.

    Dosai is our family's favorite breakfast. Growing up for some reason I always like Dosai over Idli. Since it is everybody's favorite Dosai will be there once or twice every week. At times Jagadish starts early for work so he prefers Dosai for dinner so can enjoy hot Dosai.

    There are many varieties of Dosai. Vendhaya Dosai is one which I could remember well. When I was at school I used to ask mom to pack Dosai for lunch box. Regular Dosai will become dry after sometime so she makes this and it will taste good. Softness will be retained for a long time.

    Fenugreek is very good for health. Amma adds little fenugreek for regular Idli/dosai and I follow the same. Vendayam also gives nice flavour to the Dosai.For methi Dosai less Urad dal and more fenugreek is used for soft texture.

    Recently when I was talking to my mother she told that she prepared Vedhaya Dosai. That's when I realized that it has been a while since I prepared vendayam dosai.
    Immediately decided to prepare it for next day breakfast.

    As I mentioned in Kuthiraivali pongal, millets had become a part of everyday cooking. Now a days I started making Idli, dosai with millets. Thought of giving a millet Vendhaya Dosai a try and Dosai turned out super soft.

    Notes

    1. Fenugreek Dosai cooks fast compared to regular Dosai
    2. Dosai can be covered with a lid and cooked without flipping another side
      Flipping the Dosai is optional
    3. Vendaya Dosai with being super soft compared to regular Dosai. If it is hard add little extra water. Batter should be thinner than Idli batter
    4. I turn on my oven light and ferment the batter overnight. If the batter is not fermented properly Dosai might be hard
    5. Any millets can be used. Idli rice can be used fully instead of millet
    6. Rinse the millet properly
    7. Excessive fenugreek may result in butter Dosai
    8. I used mixie, the grinder can also be used

      Definitely going to try this. I bought some fenugreek for another recipe, but have a bunch leftover that I wasn't sure what to do with it.
