Greengram & Pearl Millet Cone Dosa

I love the cone dosas served usually in Indian restaurants with their spicy coconut chutney, i do this cone dosa quite often with usual dosa batter, for a change i wanted to reproduce those crispy cone dosa using green gram and pearl millet dosa batter which i prepared a day before and left them aside for fermentation...I used whole pearl millet grains for preparing this dosa batter instead of pearl millet flour,which i picked at Indian grocery..My grandma used to prepare her variety dosas using sometimes whole pearl millet and whole ragi instead of flours which tastes definitely quite different from the dosas prepared using flours..I tried making the same sort of crispy pearl millet dosas along with some soaked greengrams....Needless to say that these dosas are truly healthy,nutritious and definitely delicious and am sending to Srivalli's Breakfast Mela...

Green gram & Pearl Millet Cone Dosa

3/4cup Pearl millet grains (soaked overnite)
1/4cup Whole green grams (soaked overnite)
1cup Parboiled rice
1/2cup Urad dal
1/2tsp Fenugreek seeds
Salt

Soak the parboiled rice and urad dal,fenugreek seeds separately for 4 hours with enough water...Grind the soaked urad dal with fenugreek seeds as fine paste, now grind the soaked pearl millet grains,soaked whole green gram and parboiled rice together as bit coarse paste with soaked water and take both batter in a vessel,add enough salt and keep aside for fermentation atleast for 8 hours or overnite..

Next day, heat a non stick pan or tawa, spread a ladle of the fermented dosa batter as thin circles, drizzle enough oil...cook on both sides, make a cut from the centre to one end, roll them as cone..

Serve hot with ur favourite spicy chutney..
