#TH - In this recipe, I substituted rice for Foxtail millet. A tempering of mustard seeds, urad dal, asafoetida, onion, ginger, curry leaves and green chilies was added to the batter. Do try this amazing and wholesome Millet Bun Dosa, accompanied with coconut chutney. Besides Foxtail Millet, you can also use any other variety of your choice, like proso, kodo, little, barnyard, etc. Any type of millet, in general, is a wonder grain that is both diabetic and heart friendly. Millets are a great substitute to rice as they have a lot of health benefits and antioxidants. So do give this recipe a try and introduce something new to your family and loved ones.
