Healthy Methi leaves Samai Millet Dosa is a fantastic breakfast to start your busy mornings.

If I say methi, the very first thought that comes to your mind is the bitter taste. But in this dosa I can hardly get the bitter taste and the only thing that I get is the aromatic methi flavour.

Millets are fantastic food which are loaded with essential nutrients and fibres. This Methi leaves little Millet Dosa is packed with both the nutrients of little millet as well as methi leaves.
