Ragi Dosai, a healthy dosa recipe made from the finger millet flour. Finger millet is one of the healthy grains, in our childhood days , amma used to make adai ,puttu and kanji using ragi flour and she found it very difficult to make us eat those things.Later she totally stopped making them because none of us in home liked them much. But now as I understood the importance of whole grains/ millet in our diet, I tried to include them as much as possible.
Traditionally ragi dosa is made from the whole finger millet, but here in this recipe, I have used the flour for a short cut method. It's such a simple trick to make the batter in minutes. Whenever i make idli/dosa batter, i used to soak a little extra urad dal for making this ragi batter. So I would be having two varieties of batter for the whole week and no need to worry about breakfast and dinner !! Every South Indian can understand me on how much it means to have a variety of batters on hand !! It would make life a lot easier !!
Definitely all millets are an acquired taste at least to me.So try to include little by little in the beginning. Click on below image to see the detailed recipe for other ragi recipes. |

- Fermenting time varies depends on the temperature where you live, if you live in cold place, put it in oven for overnight with lights on. I do the same every time to ferment the batter and it works like a charm.
- If you live in hot places, 6 hrs itself is enough to ferment.
- This dosa stays soft even for 2-3 hrs.
- To enhance the taste, use ghee instead of oil.
