What you need:

Wash kambu, raw rice, fenugreek and black gram. Mix together and soak overnight. Grind well for a smooth batter in the morning. After three hours, heat oil in a tawa and spread batter thinly like regular dosa. Chopped onions and green chillies can be added to the batter if required. Serve hot off the stove with spicy chutney. Repeat procedure with ragi, corn and other grains in similar measure as kambu for wholesome grain dosas.
