Equipment
- bowl
- Dish
- pan
- spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ragi flour
- ¼ cup Wheat flour
- ¼ cup Rice flour
- 1 large Onion Finely chopped
- 2 Green chilies Finely chopped
- ½ inch piece Ginger Grated finely
- few Curry leaves
- ½ teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds / jeeragam
- ¾ cup Buttermilk Preferably sour
- to taste Salt
- 1 teaspoon Oil
Instructions
- Mix all the flours in a wide bowl. Add the buttermilk and enough salt and mix well. Now add water to make it into a very thin batter. The batter should be much thinner than regular dosai batter.
- In a small pan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil. Add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, green chilies, ginger, and curry leaves. Let it fry for a minute and then add it to the prepared dosai batter. Add the chopped onions as well and mix.
- Heat a griddle/Tawa on medium-high heat. Once the Tawa is heated through very well, pour the batter from outside to inside to form a circle. The dosai will have holes and spaces in them (just like Rawa dosai). Add a little oil around the edges and let it cook.
- Once cooked, flip over the dosai and let it cook on the other side.
- Remove from the griddle and then repeat the same with the rest of the batter.
- Serve with your favorite chutney or sambhar! I served it with some peanut chutney.
Notes
- The dosai cane be made only with ragi and wheat flour and you could leave the rice flour. In that case use ½ cup of wheat flour instead of ¼ cup. If making for a diabetic person, I would leave the rice flour out.
- The dosai will be darker than the regular dosai, since the ragi flour is dark in color.
- Adding onions adds a sweet flavor to the dosai. If needed onions can be omitted.
- Sprouted ragi flour can be added instead of the regular ragi flour. It adds more nutrition to the recipe.
- The seasoning ingredients can also be added directly without frying. When I am short on time, I add everything along with the batter and make dosa.
- If making the dosai vegan, then skip the buttermilk and use all water.
