The present study was carried out to develop a healthy instant dosa premix made with foxtail millet, oats, soya bean and urad dhal. It is nutrient dense and because of it's a premix powder the preparation method is also very minimal. The formulated product has been standardised by repeated trails in the laboratory and by checking the organoleptic characteristics through semi trained panel members. The final product was prepared by incorporating changes suggested by the panel members. The average score for each attribute the product were calculated. The appearance, colour, flavour, texture and taste, over all acceptability of variation-2 are higher than the other two variations. The ingredients contain so many therapeutic values which are beneficial to human health.
