Revitalizing Morning Delight: Crunchy Ragi Dosa for a Wholesome Start!

🥣 Ingredients:

For Tempering (optional but enhances flavor):

Oil – 1 teaspoon

Mustard seeds – ½ teaspoon

Cumin seeds – ½ teaspoon

Finely chopped green chilies – 1

Finely chopped onion – 1 small

Curry leaves – a few

Coriander leaves – 2 tablespoons, chopped


For Serving:

Coconut chutney

Tomato chutney

Sambar (optional)


👩‍🍳 How to Make Ragi Dosa:

Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, blend ragi flour, rice flour, semolina, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Add curd and water gradually to achieve a smooth, lump-free mixture.
The consistency should be slightly thinner than regular dosa batter – similar to buttermilk.

Rest the Batter:
Cover the bowl and allow the batter to rest for 15–20 minutes.
This helps the flours absorb moisture and gives the dosa a crispy finish.

Prepare the Tempering (Optional but Recommended):
In a small pan, warm 1 teaspoon of oil.
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds; let them pop.
Incorporate the chopped onions, green chili, and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions attain a light golden shade.
Stir this tempering into the ragi batter and mix thoroughly.
Add in chopped coriander leaves for extra freshness.

Cooking the Dosa:
Heat a non-stick tawa or dosa pan over medium heat.
Lightly grease with oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter in the center and spread it outwards in a circular shape.
(If the batter is too thick, add a little water for easier spreading.)
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Once the edges lift and the base becomes crispy, flip the dosa and cook the other side for approximately one minute.


Serve Hot:
Serve the crunchy ragi dosa immediately with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar.
Enjoy the healthful taste of this nutritious South Indian specialty!

🌿 Tips:

For a quicker method, you can skip the fermentation step.
Incorporate finely chopped veggies like carrots or spinach for added taste and nutrients.
Always cook on medium heat for consistent crispness.
