Kodo Millet or Varagu Dosai is a millet really easy to get in local supermarkets. You can make a number of recipes with Varagu. Varagu Dosai is very simple to make. I have made this like we make crispy murugal dosai. It will taste really good like restaurant style special dosas. But it will be a little chewy.
