Ragi Dosa (with urad dal)
Wash and Soak rice and dal separately, Soak them in water separately for 4 to 6 hours.
Once they are soaked, grind them separately by adding little water at a time to a smooth paste. Transfer them to a large container. Now add in ragi flour and salt. Mix well. Cover and let it ferment overnight.
Once the batter is fermented, add some water to it and mix to get the right consistency. It shouldn't be too thin or too thick. Now heat a tawa, take ladleful of batter and make thin dosa. Drizzle oil around the sides. Let it cook till it gets golden, flip over and cook for few more seconds. Remove and serve.
Notes
This is my little secret trick for soaking rice and dal in 1 hour. I just add some hot water(not boiling) over the dal and rice and leave it for 1 hour. Then I strain them and while grinding and use ice cold water to grind. This is how i did this dosa batter and it came out really soft and good.
The batter should not be too thick , It should be little thin but not too thin
Dal and Rice should be ground till it is smooth, a little grit in rice is not an issue, since rice would never get to a smooth paste in mixie.
Use a large container when you are fermenting, because my batter rised too much and little batter got over flowed.
