farali dosa recipe is one of several forgotten gems from South Indian cuisine, which people are vehemently attempting to bring back to the fore now. As the name suggests, farali dosa is popularly consumed during fasting days and is made out of millets.
Vrat, Upwas or fasts is observed by may Hindus on auspicious festivals like Navratri, Shivratri or even days like ekadashi or Karwa chauth. The ingredients consumed during these fasting days differ from religion to religion and person to person. So, if you are not consuming any ingredients mentioned in this farali recipe, simply skip it.
The combination of sama and rajgira flour gives rise to a sumptuous sama rajgira dosa that is sure to please your palate on a fasting day. Sour buttermilk is added to the batter to help in fermenting. The fermentation time is just two hours, so you do not even have to plan for this sama rajgira dosa the previous day itself.
This farali dosa has a wonderful, crispy texture if made thin and must be eaten immediately. If you make farali dosa too thick and have it later, it might be chewy.
Have this sama rajgira dosa hot and fresh with Peanut Curd Chutney or Faraali Idli-Sambhar.
You can also try other faraali recipes like the Maharashtrian favourites – Upvaas Thalipeeth and Faraali Misal, or the popular Gujarati Layered Handva.
