Instant Ragi Dosa (no fermentation)

Ragi Dosa is a healthy delicious Indian recipe made using Ragi or ‘Finger Millet’. Here instant ragi dosa recipe is shared which does not require any soaking or fermentation. No rava or semolina has been added to it. It is completely gluten free and can be prepared in a short time.

In this Instant ragi dosa recipe, we have used ragi flour which is easily available in market these days. Rice flour has also been added as it makes the dosa more crispy. Initially I used to add some semolina or rava(sooji) also, but then I tried making them without it and the dosas turned out perfect. The benefit of skipping semolina is that the recipe becomes gluten free.

Is Ragi gluten free?

Ragi is one of the known ancient grains, looks like small brown coloured round seeds & is said to be extremely nutritious. Ragi is also known by other names like ‘nachni’, ‘mandua’ or ‘finger millet’ in english. As it is a gluten free grain, it can be consumed by people with celiac disease or gluten allergy. Ragi has number of health benefits as it is great source of protein, calcium, iron & dietary fibre. It is also often recommended to people for weight loss or people suffering from diabetes as it helps in maintaining blood sugar levels.

The curd or yoghurt adds a slight sour taste to the dosa just the way you get in authentic fermented dosa batter. Along with it, some chopped onion, green chillies, ginger paste and spices are mixed in the batter as they enhance the taste & flavours in dosa.

For those who are unaware, dosas are thin crispy crepes and one of the popular food items of South India. Traditionally they are made by soaking rice, urad dal (lentil), methi (fenugreek) seeds; followed by grinding & fermentation.

With hectic lifestyle these days, sometimes it is not possible to go through this entire process. In such scenario, this Instant ragi dosa is perfect for breakfast or lunch. You can have it with sambhar, coconut chutney or onion-tomato chutney. I like to have it accompany it with some Idli podi too.

• Sweet Corn Dosa
• Moong Dal Idli

List of Ingredients:

• Ragi Flour – 1 cup 
• Rice Flour – 1/2 cup
• Curd/Yoghurt – 1/4 cup
• Chopped Onion – 1/2 cup
• Ginger paste – 1/2 tsp
• Chopped Green Chilli – 1
• Cumin seeds(Jeera) – 1 tsp
• Crushed Black pepper – 1/2 tsp
• Salt – 1 tsp (or to taste)
• Water – 2 & 1/2 cups
• Oil for cooking

Steps To Prepare:

Step 1:
Take ragi flour, rice flour & curd in a mixing bowl. 

Step 2:
Start adding water to the above mix and form a thin batter.

As you can see below, the batter is free flowing & there are no lumps.

Step 3:
Add chopped onion, green chilli, ginger paste, salt and rest of the spices to it. You can adjust the spices as per your taste. 

Step 4:
Heat a non stick or heavy bottomed pan. Brush some oil on it & wipe with tissue. 

When the pan is hot, using a laddle, pour ragi dosa batter on it. Start from outwards & move inwards while pouring the batter. If there are some bigger gaps left in between, fill them with more batter.

As the pan is hot, you will see the dosa would automatically form a lace like structure (just the way you see in traditional rava dosa). Let it cook on medium-low flame.

Drizzle some oil on the edges & in the centre. Cook till it is crispy & golden. If you want you can cook from other side too but I prefer my dosas cooked from one side only.

Enjoy these delicious crispy Ragi dosa with sambhar, coconut chutney or onion tomato chutney.
