Ragi Dosa / Nachini Dosa - Finger Millet Dosa

                             

 

                  A healthy variety of dosa and a quick dish to make . This dish is made with just 3 ingredients . Ragi/Nachini ,Urad Dal and salt .I have taken the whole ragi and urad dal soaked it separately for about 2 hours. By this way you get all the essentials of the millet and the dal ,then grind it  in the blender separately . The batter needs to be mixed with salt and kept separately for fermentation  for atleast 6 hours for best result.. U can also use the ragi/nachini flour to make the process easier. The Urad Dal needs to be soaked and blended.

Ingredients:

Ragi/Nachini – 2 cups
Urad dal – 1 cup
Salt – 1tsp (as per requirement)

 How to Make

1.       Wash and soak Separately with enough water so that both Ragi/Nachini and Urad Dal are fully immersed. Grind the Ragi/Nachini with a cup of water to smooth paste and keep aside. Grind the Urad Dal with one and half cup water to a smooth batter. Add more water if required.

2.       Combine both the batter with required salt and mix well . Keep it aside for 6-7 hrs. The Batter will rise a little by this time.

3.       Now mix the batter well with the ladle .The Ragi/Nachini batter should not be very thick . If thick pour some water .

                                               

4.       Heat the pan until hot. Pour a ladle of batter and spread it as u do for dosa. sprinkle some oil / Ghee . let it cook for 30 seconds until the side turns brown. Flip it and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat the same for the remaining batter.
