Ingredients

• 1 cup Ragi (finger millet) flour
• 0.5 cup Rice flour
• 0.5 cup Yogurt
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
• 0.5 inch, grated Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Oil or ghee

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, rice flour, and salt.

Step 2

Add yogurt to the mixture and blend well.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously to form a thin, smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.

Step 4

Add cumin seeds, finely chopped green chili, grated ginger, and chopped coriander leaves into the batter. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 5

Set aside the batter for 10-15 minutes to let it rest.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick pan or a dosa tawa on medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with oil or ghee.

Step 7

Stir the batter and pour a ladleful onto the hot tawa. Quickly spread it into a thin circle using the back of the ladle.

Step 8

Drizzle a few drops of oil or ghee around the edges and on top of the dosa. Cook until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Flip the dosa and cook the other side for about 1 minute.

Step 10

Remove the dosa from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 11

Serve hot with chutney or sambhar of your choice.
