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. Samai is little millet, a tiny, fine grain long grown in the hill villages of Tamil Nadu and cooked there like rice.

The fine grain makes a smooth batter that spreads thin and crisps well at the edges, with a mild, slightly nutty taste. It takes well to a curry leaf podi or a garlicky chutney. Choosing between Native Food Store dosa mixes? Samai for thin and crisp; varagu for a firmer dosai; kuthiraivali for a paler, softer one.

Tip: For a crisp samai dosai, sprinkle a few drops of water on the tawa first. If it sizzles away at once, the pan is ready.

Goes well with: Suswaad Karuvepilai Podi, Native Food Store Samai Millet Noodles, Sri Durga Marachekku Gingelly Oil
