Ragi Dosa

Ragi Dosa

I call it the power dosa as it is packed with nutrients and proteins.- Ragi and wheat flour. My kids typically love any kind of dosa and this one is especially very easy to prepare.

Ingredients

1. Ragi flour – 2cups
2. Rava (Coarse/Upittu Rave) – 2 cups
3. Rice flour/Akki hittu- 3/4 cup
4. Wheat flour/godi hittu – 3/4 cup
5. Medium sized onion (Optional) - 2
6. Salt to taste
7. Cumin/Jirige powder – 1 Tsp
8. Pepper Powder - 2 Tsp
9. Green chilies (optional) – 4 or 5 ( I added Banana peppers)
10. Cliantro/Kotmbri soppu - ¼ of a bunch
11. Water as required
12. Oil as required for making the dosas.

Method

1. Mix all the dry flours (from 1- 3) in a big bowl.
2. Add about 2-3 cups water to the flour and mix with hand or a hand mixer and make sure there are no lumps.
3. Add more water as required such that the batter consistency is watery and thin. (like thick soup consistency). You can also add half buttermilk and half water. Refer to the picture
4. Add salt, cumin powder, pepper powder, finely chopped green chilies, onions and cilantro and mix it well into the batter.
5. Let the batter stand for half and hour.
6. Heat the dosa pan on medium flame.
7. Take the batter in a ladle and pour it on the pan starting from outside rim of the pan to inside. You should actually pour it from top and you can see bubbles forming. You do not have to spread the batter with the ladle.
8. Then take 1 tsp of oil and put it along the edge of the dosa and in the middle. Let is cook for 2-3minutes. The edges will start becoming golden brown and it is time to flip the dosa.
9. Cook the dosa for another 2 minutes and take it out of the pan. Crispy healthy, Ragi dosa is ready to be served.

Tip: You can grate carrots and finely chop mint add it to the batter to sneak in some veggies.
