In a large mixing bowl, combine the ragi flour, coconut milk, and water. Whisk until you have a smooth batter without lumps.
Add salt to the batter and mix well. Set aside while you prepare the tempering.
In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add grated ginger, chopped green chili, and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Pour the tempering into the ragi batter and mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Heat a non-stick pan or dosa tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little coconut oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it out in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of coconut oil around the edges. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift and the base is golden brown.
Flip the dosa and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
Remove the dosa from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the Paleo Ragi Dosa hot with your favorite chutney or paleo-friendly side dish.
