How long do I need to soak the millet and rice for this dosa?

You should soak the millet and raw rice overnight or for at least 6 to 8 hours to ensure they soften sufficiently for grinding into a smooth batter.

What kind of millet is best for Sanna Polo Dosa?

This recipe specifically used foxtail millet, but you can feel free to use other varieties like pearl millet or little millet, depending on what you have available.

What should the batter consistency be like for this dosa?

The batter should be smooth and pourable after grinding with enough water. Keep in mind it won't spread as much as a regular dosa batter, so don't try too hard for perfect circles.

Can I prepare the Sanna Polo Dosa batter in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the base batter (millet, rice, coconut, chilies, tamarind) ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a day or two. However, stir in the cabbage, onion, and cilantro just before cooking for the best texture.

What are some serving suggestions for Sanna Polo Dosa?

These dosas are delicious served hot with your favorite chutney, or you can enjoy them simply as they are for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

How to Prepare Sanna Polo Dosa [Vegan]

Soak rice and millet overnight or at least for 6~8 hours.
Drain the water and grind rice & millet along with grated coconut, dried red chilies, tamarind and salt to a smooth batter. Add enough water to make a pourable batter.
Stir in cabbage, onion and cilantro. Mix well.
Heat a griddle/ tawa on medium-high heat. Pour a ladleful of batter in a circular manner. Batter doesn't spread quite as much as regular dosa batter, so don't try too hard to get perfect circles.
Drizzle oil on top and cook dosa till golden on one side, about 2~3 minutes. Gently flip the dosa and cook on the second side for another 1~2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or just as is.
