Dosa is a comfort food and loved by everyone, a famous South Indian breakfast or snack both in India as well as outside India. They’re are utterly delicious at any time of day and with all sorts of fillings. This millet recipe contains good amount of fibre and is a rich source of iron, calcium and other minerals. 

I could eat dosas practically every day. Although we do eat a wide variety of dishes for breakfast, more often than not, it is the millet dosa recipe that gives me the nourishment to begin the day.
