This looks like a great recipe. However I do not have any chia powder. What I substitute this with?
Is the whole barley the same as pearl barley?
Thanks!
If you have flax seed powder substitute that with Chia powder. I used Chia powder so that it is easier to make and the batter doesn't stick to the griddle. If you don't have flax seed, to make a small pancake. If you don't have any problem in removing from the griddle go ahead otherwise use two tbsp of rice flour. Whole barley is different from Pearl barley. Pearl barley is like white rice and Whole barley is wholesome one without any polishing.
this is great..i make multigrain dosa without chia which is not available here...possibilities are endless...barley dosa is different from this n each combo of multigrains tastes different..
