Crispy Ragi Dosa

Step 1: Prepare the Dosa Batter

In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup ragi flour, 1/4 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup rava, and salt to taste. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined. Gradually add 2.5 cups of water while continuously whisking to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 2: Add Flavorings to Batter

To the batter, add 1 small chopped onion, 1/8 tsp asafoetida, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1 tsp green chilli, 4-5 curry leaves, and 2 tbsp coriander leaves. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon until evenly distributed.

Step 3: Rest the Batter

Allow the prepared dosa batter to rest for 10 minutes. After resting, give it another good mix before proceeding.

Step 4: Cook the Dosa

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour one ladle of the batter onto the hot pan and spread it evenly in a circular motion to form a thin dosa. Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa.

Step 5: Achieve Crispy Texture

Cook the dosa for 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy, and small holes appear on the surface. Carefully flip the dosa and cook for another minute on the other side.

Step 6: Serve

Once cooked, transfer the crispy ragi dosa to a plate. Repeat the process for the remaining batter. Serve hot with coconut chutney.

• Adjust the amount of water to achieve the desired batter consistency.

• Ensure the pan is hot before pouring the batter for crispy dosas.

• Add more vegetables like grated carrots or finely chopped bell peppers for extra nutrition and flavor.

• Add grated cheese to the dosa for a cheesy variation.

• Include finely chopped spinach or fenugreek leaves for a healthier twist.
