Nowadays many people pay more attention to their health.Due to media,people get health awareness and many of them are including siru dhanyam(millet) in their daily food.Actually its good to have atleast one sirudhanyam once in a week.I got an oppurtunity when my friend PRABHA gave varagu(kodo millet) pongal to taste.It was nice.I also wanted to make a try with varagu asisi but made dosai.It came out well.I couldn't find out any difference from normal dosa.Easy to prepare and also more healthy.
