Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ragi (finger millet) flour
- 1/4 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
- 1/2 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse 1/4 cup of urad dal and 1/2 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds under running water. Soak them together in enough water for about 4 hours.
Drain the water from the soaked urad dal and fenugreek seeds. Transfer them to a blender and add 2 tablespoons of cooked rice. Blend until you get a smooth and fluffy batter. Add a little water if necessary.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of ragi flour with the urad dal batter. Gradually add 1 to 1.5 cups of water to achieve a pouring consistency. Mix well until lumps are eliminated.
Cover the batter and let it ferment in a warm place for 8 to 10 hours or overnight, allowing it to rise slightly and develop flavor.
Once fermented, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the batter and mix well.
Heat a non-stick pan or a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a few drops of olive oil using a paper towel.
Pour a ladleful of batter in the center of the pan and spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of olive oil around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden brown and crisp.
Gently lift the dosa from the edges and fold it in half. Remove and serve hot.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly as needed. Serve the heart-healthy ragi dosa with your favorite chutney or sambar.
