About Ragi Dosa Recipe
Ragi dosa is my mother’s favorite dosa and mine too. If we go to any restaurant, the first thing we order is Ghee Roast, Paper Roast or Ragi Dosa. We used to make fun of amma for this, but she never cares about anything other than digging in straight away. We make ragi dosa at home often, My version is so quick and instant, that is how I like my food, “FAST & INSTANT”.
Many of you have been asking for health and diet recipes. So I have started making healthy dishes which I often won’t do. So thanks guys for asking me. Ok. When you are up against stress and tension and have no time to cook anything, our lovable dosa or idli comes in handy. But sometimes it makes us so bore when we have same dish again and again.

Version 2: Ragi Dosa (Urad Dal & Rice)
This version of ragi dosa is made with grinding rice and urad dal together and mixing with ragi flour. The dosa is crispy.
This is the dosa which i was talking in this idli post. Actually both are same recipe,but there is one variation that you don't have to add baking soda in this. But i wanted to post this as a separate post because of the pics. If i join this in that idli post then i cannot show the beauty of the crispy dosa clearly to you.
This dosa turned out so crispy, not like my instant ragi dosa. I loved it so much, so make yourself a batch of this batter and you can make fluffy ragi idly and crispy ragi dosa. TWO IN ONE..I served it with tomato chutney. So give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

Hi Aarthi, I tried it but the dosa came out super soggy that I couldn’t take out of the tawa. It’s got stuck but soggy ! What could be the reason ? I made the batter as it is mentioned in the recipe.
Aarthi
try adding little more rice flour.
