Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix Idli batter and jowar flour together. Make sure there are no lumps.

2. Add water if needed while mixing- I only added 2 tablespoons of water — to ensure it is in dosa batter consistency

3. In a kadai, heat up oil and add mustard seeds. Let it sputter.

4. Add green chilies, onions and carrots and saute for 5 mins. If you like it mushy, fry for longer.

5. Add the ingredients from the kadai to the batter and adjust the salt if needed

6. Let the batter settle down for 5 to 10 mins
