Kambu is one of the millets having more micro-nutrients. Kambu is high in fiber. It has a high glycemic index. It keep us filling for more time and hence it is good for weight loss diet. if you are planning to work late night, you could have this kambu dosa in your dinner. It will keep you more active and subtle your hunger.It has a lot more benefits to. This dosa will be comfortable for diabetes.

I referred this recipe from Padhu's Kitchen . I do not have whole pearl millet here. I am making use of kambu flour. In this recipe, I have used kambu maavu and followed a fermented kambu dosa batter. My personal opinion is it has a little of bitterness in the dosa. So instead of a direct dosa, I am going to add little onions, chopped chillies, asafoetida and cumin seeds. This will give a nice flavor and taste. This Adai does not need any side dish. If you wish to take a side dish, better try with tangy chutneys.
