FAQs
1. Can I make jowar dosa without fermentation
Yes! For a quick version:
Use jowar flour instead of whole grains.
Add a pinch of baking soda or fruit salt (eno) for fluffiness.
Adjust water for a thin batter (like crepe consistency).
2. Why is my dosa sticking to the pan
The pan isn’t hot enough (heat on medium-high before pouring batter).
Batter is too thick (add water to thin it).
Grease the pan lightly with oil or ghee before each dosa.
3. Can I mix jowar with other flours
Yes! Try:
Jowar + Rice flour (for crispiness).
Jowar + Urad dal flour (for softness, with fermentation).
Jowar + Ragi (for extra nutrition).
4. Is jowar dosa gluten-free
Yes! Jowar (sorghum) is naturally gluten-free, making it ideal for gluten-sensitive diets.
5. How do I store jowar dosa batter
Fermented batter: Refrigerate for up to 2–3 days.
Unfermented batter: Use within 24 hours (may thicken—adjust water before cooking).
6. Why is my dosa breaking while flipping
Batter is too thin (add a spoon of rice flour to thicken).
Flipped too early (wait for edges to lift naturally).
Conclusion
Jowar dosa is a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to traditional dosas, rich in fiber and protein. Whether fermented for a tangy flavor or made instantly for a quick meal, it’s versatile and pairs well with coconut chutney, sambar, or spicy tomato chutney.
