What it is

Native Food Store was started in Chennai in 2016 by P. Vishnukumar, an engineer by training, as a one-stop shop for millets and millet-based products. Cholam is sorghum, jowar in the North, the tall grain grown across the dry belts of Tamil Nadu and the Deccan.

Jowar is pale and mild with a faint sweetness, so these dosai look closer to the usual rice ones than most millet dosai do. They are soft in the middle and crisp at the edge if the tawa is hot enough. Choosing between Native Food Store dosa mixes? Cholam for mild and pale; kambu for grey and earthy; ragi for dark and robust.

Tip: Jowar batter sets quickly on the tawa. Spread it in one quick spiral and leave it alone until the edges lift.
