Instant Onion Ragi Dosa

Instant ragi dosa is an easy and quick to make breakfast/ dinner which is nutritious and healthy. It doesn’t require much preparation like soaking or grinding and can be made with the ingredients at home.

Ingredients:

Makes: 6- 8 dosa

Time: Max. 20 mins

Ragi flour – 1 cup

Wheat flour – 1/2 cup

Salt – as needed for dosa batter

Onion – 1 big (chopped finely)

Green chillies – 2 (chopped finely)

Mustard – 1 tsp

Oil – for tempering and for making dosa

Method:

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add mustard and let it splutter. Then add green chillies and switch off the stove.
2. Mix ragi and wheat flour in a bowl, add 1.5 cups of water and mix it well so that the batter isn’t without lumps.
3.  Add onion, salt and tempered ingredients in step 1 and mix the batter well. The batter should be a bit runny unlike normal dosa batter (like rava dosa batter). See below image for consistency.

4. Heat dosa tawa and pour a ladle of batter like you do for rava dosa. Add some oil for the dosa to cook.

5. When the dosa is cooked on one side (as in second pic above), flip it over. Add some oil and let it cook for 2 mins. You could cook it in medium to high flame. Be careful not to burn the dosa.

6. Follow the same procedure for rest of the batter and serve it with chutney/ sambar.

 

Note:

1. You could make the dosa batter consistency as thick as well but I like it the way I have described. It takes a bit longer for dosa to cook if the batter is thick and also doesn’t cook well in the middle.
2. The colour of dosa is dark because of colour of ragi flour.
3. You could add little rice flour for more crispy dosa.
