Ragi Dosa (Millet Crepe)

I confess that I am very much addicted to dosas like I am to injeras. However there are many types of dosa recipes.  This and idli goes very well together with rasam and sambar.

There are some dosas that needs a little bit of more work like the soaking and grinding of rice and lentils to make a  batter or of a perticular type of flour like  this recipe here wich really is an easy recipe and there is no fermentation needed thanks to the edition of yogurt. Now enough chatter for now because I am going to show you how this really works and starting as of right now.

Start with dry ingredients by mixing 1/2 cup of ragi flour.   Add  1/4 cup  of rice flour, 1 pinch each of pink salt, hing, eno or baking soda, cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Add 1 whole round red chili by crumbling it with your hands and mix.

Now time for the wet ingredients by adding 3 tbs of plain desi yogurt  and mix well then add 1/4 cup or enough water to make a smooth batter and not so thin and not so thick either.   Also make sure it is free from lumps.

I take out my nonstick pan the very same one I use for making dosa and injera by rinsing it out then turning on the stove and letting it get hot by letting the water dry on it.  When it is dry take the non stick skillet off of the stove and spray it with cooking spray. Take a ladle of the dosa batter  and add to the bottom and twirl it around until all of the batter is covering the bottom of the nonstick.  Put it back on the stove on medium and put the cover over it.

This cooks on one side just like  injera  and when it is dry and  and the edges lift off othe pan and it is slightly brown, turn off the heat and set the timer for 2 minutes and cover. When you hear time is up lift off the lid and then it will slide on to a plate more easily and repeat these steps until all of the batter is used up.

They can be enjoyed with sambar and rasam and also with zeera aloo. I am planning on making a zeera aloo  and an aloo pujia dish in the  future  Inshallah. I hope you like this recipe and find it easy to make.
