Ragi(Finger millet) is one grain that I use extensively especially during the summers. I just love the unique flavour and texture it brings to any dish it is added to. It is full of nutrients, great for weight loss and is easily digested. Ragi is considered to be the best source of calcium, and is a must in your diet, specially for women since we always need a good amount of calcium intake as we are, we become more and more prone calcium deficiency which causes a string of bone related issues. So here's another delicious Ragi recipe. And who doesn't love dosa?!
There are many ways of making Ragi Dosa. Some make it by fermenting the batter, some by using curd. The way in which I make it is how I like it the most. And, this too is my mom's recipe so needless to say.. It's special!
So here goes..
Ingredients:
2/3 cup Urad dal
2 big cups Ragi flour
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi dana)
1 tsp Brown rice (normal rice is also okay)
2/3 cup Urad dal
2 big cups Ragi flour
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi dana)

1) Wash and soak urad dal, methi seeds and rice for 3 to 4 hrs(or overnight)
2) Drain away the excess water and blend this mixture with ragi flour by adding little water into a smooth batter
3) Adjust the water so as to get dosa consistency of the batter
4) Add in some salt and mix and your batter is ready!
5) Heat a non stick tawa on medium flame. When the tawa is hot enough, pour in the batter and make your dosas as you like them! And enjoy!

Note: 1) Don't forget to add the methi seeds. They enhance the taste immensely!
2) Ragi dosas take slightly longer than the regular rice dosas to cook. So a little bit of patience
3) Add few drops of ghee rather than oil to your dosa! It's heaven!
4) Do not make the batter and the dosa very thin. Try and get the perfect batter consistency to enjoy your perfect dosa

5) You can also make this as an Uthapam by adding veggies of your choice😇
6) Adding a spoon of rice will make the dosas extremely crispy. However you can also do without it if you wish to avoid rice completely
