In my attempt to add multiple types of grains in my food, I bought packets of rice flour, ragi flour, and jowar flour last weekend. Jowar or Sorghum is a grain used in Asia and Africa. Due to its gluten-free nature, it is also known as ‘new quinoa’.
Now, I wanted to make something nice and innovative rather than the regular rotis/flatbreads. I innovated with these instant Jowar dosas/crepes which turned out to be super easy to make and tasted well too. I am definitely making them again very soon.
Do you make them too? Do share your variation as well.
