Notes
Always use small onion for great taste.Here shallots are little expensive so I used Large onion.
Replace barley pearls with barley flour.
To make more healthy, add grated vegetables like carrot, radish.
Cook on low flame to get crispy also it takes more time to cook than normal dosa.
Adjust the no of red chillies according to your taste.
