yummy everyday meal: Kuthiraivali Dosai/Barnyard Millet Dosa

For the 5th day in the fermented dosa series in Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon is a millet based dosa.
As these days millet cooking is getting popular,wanted to try some dosa with millets.I get the barnyard millet and fox tail millet here.So tried dosas with both the millets separately but everybody likes the barnyard millets dosa.
In this recipe I didn't add any rice and used only millet and urad dhal to make the batter.The dosa came out so crispy and I don't feel any difference in taste and tastes almost like the plain dosa made with rice.But needs to be consumed right off,it becomes slightly harder after cooling as there is no rice used.Since it was my first trial,I used a cup of millet and made the batter.
