And the best part? You don’t need to soak, grind, or ferment anything. With Truroots by Vrinda’s Sprouted Jowar Dosa Premix, creating delicious dosa recipes is as easy as mixing, pouring, and flipping. Whether you want something classic or a fusion-style dosa, this guide has got you covered with nutritious ideas that taste as good as they look.
Why Choose Jowar Dosa?
Jowar (sorghum) is one of the most ancient and nutrient-rich millets. It’s naturally gluten-free, high in dietary fiber, and contains important minerals like iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. When sprouted—as it is in Truroots by Vrinda’s premix—the nutritional benefits increase significantly.
Sprouted jowar improves:
- Mineral absorption (due to reduced anti-nutrients)
- Digestibility (gentler on the gut)
- Protein availability (for muscle support and satiety)
- Glycemic balance (great for diabetics and weight watchers)
It’s an ideal grain for anyone trying to eat clean without compromising on taste or convenience.
How to Make Classic Jowar Dosa
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Sprouted Jowar Dosa Premix
- 1 to 1.25 cups water (adjust for consistency)
- Ghee or cold-pressed oil for cooking
Steps:
- In a bowl, mix the premix with water until you get a smooth, flowing batter.
- Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan. Once hot, pour a ladle of batter in the center and spread in a circular motion.
- Drizzle a few drops of oil or ghee around the edges.
- Cook until golden and crisp. Flip only if you prefer it cooked on both sides.
Serve hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambhar.
