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
