During the 9 days of Navratri, many people give up grains and replace them with millets or Sago (Sabudana). Two of the ingredients that are widely used in this time are Rajgira (Amaranth) and Sama (Little Millet). This recipe for Upvas Ka Dosa makes use of both these flours to make an instant, no-fuss dosa.

Also called Farali Dhirde or Rajgira Bhagar Dhirde in Maharashtra, this gluten-free dosa is rich in calcium, protein, magnesium, zinc, and may ore micronutrients. As a result, this dosa is a great addition to any diet plan and I often have it for breakfast.

Tips to Make the Perfect Rajgira Sama Dosa

• If you cannot find Bhagar or Sama Flour (Little Millet flour), soak little millet in water for 1 hour, drain all the water and then grind to a smooth paste with a little water.
• I made this dosa with ghee this dosa is gluten-free and can be made vegan by replacing ghee with oil, and yogurt/dahi with water.
• To get a crisp dosa, ensure that the tava/griddle is well-greased and hot before you pour the batter onto it.
• If you use sour yogurt, the dosa will also have a nice tangy taste.
