Recently I was with a friend's family and I was introduced as millet's specialist. But frankly speaking I was little complacent and not used millets at that regularity but for our traditional and customary ragi, the finger millet. So on my drive back home I said to myself that the next meal I prepare would include a millet. So it was Kodo millet crepe for us.
Different millets in many different forms as flour, flakes, semolina are available in the market. We can prepare very interesting and tasty food using them in right way.
Kodo millet, locally known as arka is used regularly in many parts of Karnataka house holds and is popular for the health benefits it offers.
This millet crepe is prepared like a traditional dosa with black gram lentil, and fenugreek. Millets are low in starch, addition of these ingredients not only make preparation of crepes easy, but also incresae the taste and add crunch.
So let us start the day with this healthy and yummy break fast.
