Ragi Dosa

Hi Friends

Today I thought of preparing dosa with healthy grain RAGI/FINGER MILLET.The texture of this dosa is very much like normal dosa but taste is different and is also filled with health benefits.The colour of this dosa is matches the ragi skin colour and  it hardly takes any effort require to make this healthy dosa. The preparation needs to be done the night before you are planning to prepare this dosa.

OK Let us go and prepare ragi dosa

Ingredients

• Organic ragi flour                              3 cups
• Urad dal                                           1 cup
• Fenu greek seeds                              1/2 tbsp
• Required salt
• Oil

How I did it

1. Wash and soak urad dal and fenu greek for 4 to 5 hours.
2. Add water to ragi flour and mix it well to make it into a thick paste. Add water in intervals and keep mixing until the flour is dissolved.
3. Then grind soaked urad dal and fenu greek seeds into smooth paste and mix in ragi batter.
4. Add required salt and mix well.
5. Let the batter for ferment at least 7 to 8 hours. It depends upon the temperature of your room.
6. Check the consistency next morning and mix little water if necessary. The consistency should be like the normal dosa batter. 
7. Heat dosa pan on medium heat.
8. Pour a ladder full of batter in the center of the pan and spread it like we do it for dosa.
9. Sprinkle little oil and let it roast.
10. Then flip it and add little oil and let it roast both sides.

Serve with different side dishes and chutneys and enjoy the wonderful dosa. I prepared masala baigan and vulli karam as side dishes for breakfast today.

My Notes

1. You can add chopped onions, chopped chillies, any chopped vegetables in ragi batter.
2. Instead of ragi flour, one can use ragi grains also. Soak ragi grains and grind it and prepare dosa .
3. Ragi dosa can be made without urad dal as well. Urad dal gives you the required consistency for the dosa and the dosas come out wel.
