Ragi Dosa Recipe| Healthy Breakfast Recipe by Masterchefmom| Gluten Free and Vegan

Hi Supermoms,

My Protein Dosai recipe has become so popular that so many of you have been asking me to share recipes that are tasty , easy to cook and also very healthy.

Ragi is filled with goodness of fibre and calcium and is very popular in many villages across South India. There are plenty of ways in which you can cook Ragi, but today I am going to show you a very popular combination at our place, which children will also love.  

Without delay lets start cooking.

As the colour of the dosai is not so inviting for kids  , I have added grated beetroot, carrot, capsicum, onion etc., that makes the dosa even more wholesome and delicious too.  

Ragi Dosai |  Ragi Dosa Recipe :

Preparation time : 4-6 hours soaking time ( fermentation - optional)

Cooking time :2-3 minutes per dosa

1 cup = 250 ml cup

Ingredients :

For the batter:

2 cups  ragi /finger millet 

1/2 cup urad dal /husked black gram

1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds/methi seeds

Salt to taste. 

For greasing :

1 tablespoon sesame oil 

Method : 

1. Wash  the ragi/finger millet three to four times and soak them in enough water for 4-5 hours or overnight. 

2.In another vessel, wash and soak urad dal along with fenugreek/methi seeds  for the same amount of time as finger millets. 

3.After the grains have soaked for the said amount of time, grind the ragi into a smooth batter using 1/2 cup of the soaked water adding little at a time ( adjust water quantity).

4. Transfer the ground ragi batter to another vessel.

5. Now grind the urad dal along with methi seeds into a smooth batter adding 1/4 cup of the water used for soaking the lentil. 

6.Add this to the ground ragi batter ,add salt and mix well.

7.You can start making the ragi dosa immediately or allow it to ferment for 4-6 hours and then start making the dosa. Either way, they taste great. 

If you do not get whole ragi/finger millet, you can use ragi flour . You can follow this recipe-  to make Ragi dosai using the flour or you can also refer to my recipe video to make  instant ragi dosai using the ragi flour . 

Your healthy and tasty ragi dosai is ready ! Serve it with your choice of chutneys and sambar. They taste good even with milagai podi or with jaggery.

I served the dosai with peanut chutney and added a secret ingredient to make it even more healthy - Spinach !

 Wholesome, nutritious and so yummy!!

Happy Cooking!
