This is a simple version of fermented ragi dosa. Usually, we make ragi and wheat dosa as an instant version, but this fermented dosa is still more healthy with the goodness of probiotics and very tasty. It turns out very crispy and soft yet, literally melting in mouth. Ragi has many goodness than oats. It has more calcium and fibre, hence recommended for children and women. Its a type of millet that helps in weight loss.
There are many ways of making fermented ragi dosa. Urad dal batter can be mixed with freshly ground whole ragi or readymade ragi flour. Also it is made by grinding rice, urad dal and ragi. This is a simple version of grinding urad dal and mixing readymade ragi flour into it. Fermenting overnight makes the dosa easily spreadable, soft and tastier too.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups ragi flour (I've used organic flour)
1/2 cup of urad dal
1/2 tsp methi (optional)
water for grinding
salt to taste
Method:
1. Soak urad dal for 45 minutes. Grind with enough water.
2. Mix urad dal batter with ragi flour and salt, adding water little by little to dosa batter consistency. Let this ferment overnight.
3. Add more water if required and adjust the consistency of the batter to dosa batter. Pour dosas on a hot tawa. If you wish for crispy dosas cook little longer. They will turn really crisp.
Tastes best when hot. Crispiness goes off with time. Tastes best with coconut chutney and sambar.
