Ragi Rava Dosa

Foods prepared from the ragi millet is not something that we would prefer in our everyday breakfasts. But Onion rava dosa would be in many of our favorite lists, why not combine them and make a healthy and yummy dosa?

 

Ragi Rava Dosa

Ingredients (serves 2-3 persons)  

Ragi flour – 1 cup

Sooji rava – ½ cup 

Maida – 1 tablespoon

Pepper – 10 (whole or broken)
Jeera – 2 teaspoon (whole or broken)

Chopped Green chillies – 2 to 3 (optional)

Ginger (grated) – out of 1 inch long

Coriander leaves (chopped) - few

Curry leaves (finely chopped or whole) - few

Curd slightly with sour – 1 tablespoon

Onions (chopped) – as per taste
Salt - to taste 

Preparation

In a reasonably big bowl add the ragi flour, sooji rava, maida and mix them without adding water.

Now add with this mixture pepper & jeera (whole or broken as per taste), chopped green chillies, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, finely chopped or few whole curry leaves and salt.

Now add water to make the mixture to dosa consistency and keep aside for 2 hours.

After 2 hours add the slightly sour curd and required amount of water to make it to the rava dosa consistency (pouring consistency and not spreading consistency). 

Method 

In a dosa pan (if possible curved dosa pan is preferable) heat and pour some oil.

Spread the oil to the entire space of the pan (so that the dosa may not get stuck while taking back out of the pan) and spread the finely chopped onion over the pan as per requirement and taste.

Now pour the dosa batter over the onions and close with lid for few minutes.

Now turn the dosa and roast the other side also.

Adjust the heat of the stove, because making dosa in low heat is not so good and will take long time to get ready. 

Side dish preferred

Coconut chutney

Health Benefits

Ragi, the healthy millet, is good source of calcium and iron.

Tips 

My method for making this type of dosas, to reduce time consumption; I use two dosa pans side by side.

In the first pan, which is on big burner, I pour dosa batter and at the time of turning and roasting, I use second dosa pan, which is on small burner.

Since the roasted rava dosas are good in taste, we will not get bored and lose temper before finishing all dosas.
