Preparation time – 30 minutes
Cook time – 30 minutes
Serves – 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup ragi (finger millet)
- 1/4 cup urad dal (black gram)
- 1 tbsp methi seeds (fenugreek seeds)
- 2 tbsp raw white rice
- 1 tsp salt
- Ghee, as needed
- Water, as needed
Directions
- Combine the ragi, urad dal, methi seeds, and raw white rice in a bowl. Soak the mixture in water for 4-6 hours.
- Rinse the soaked ingredients thoroughly and blend them until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into a bowl and mix it with your hands for a few minutes. This helps activate the fermentation process.
- Cover the bowl with a lid and let the batter ferment for about 12 hours in a warm place.
- After fermentation, gently mix the batter.
- Add salt and water as needed to achieve the desired dosa batter consistency.
- Heat a cast iron tawa on medium heat. Lightly grease it with ghee.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it into a thin circle.
- Drizzle some ghee around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and cook the other side briefly if needed.
- Serve hot with coconut or peanut chutney, sambar, or your favorite curry.
Tips for Perfect Ragi Dosa
- Fermentation is key to soft yet crispy dosas. Ensure the batter ferments well for the best results.
- Mix the batter gently after fermentation to retain the air bubbles for lighter dosas.
- Adjust the water quantity gradually to get a smooth, flowing batter.
