Instant ragi dosa recipe
My paati being diabetic, my mom always prepares special diabetic diet recipes for her dinner. Other than roti, she makes tiffin items with ragi. She makes sweet adai, savoury adai, idiyappam, puttu, kanji(porridge) both sweet and salted and these dosas. Those days, I was not so fond of those tiffin items. My mom will remind me that I used to drink sweet kanji when I was a baby and used to be chubby then. During my teens I was so so lean and weak and she used to struggle a lot to make me eat nutritious food and I used to escape in all ways!

But after I started cooking, I buy ragi flour and make at least dosa with it once in a while. But now, my kid won’t even touch it, my hubby also is a big enemy to healthy food items like ragi, oats! So I make this only for myself. Its easy to make in morning times also we will feel full tummy to kick start the day. I simply eat with buttermilk and idli podi. I have given the best combo chutney how ever, goes well with this dosa. The ingredients given makes 5-6 dosas.

RED CHILLI CHUTNEY RECIPE FOR RAGI DOSA


    This chutney is very nice combo for ragi dosa. Easy to make too! My mom makes this with even idli / dosa. The chutney requires simplest ingredients in your pantry and the key is to balance all the three – chilli-salt-tamarind. Its perfect for the bland ragi dosa.

Ingredients

Red chillies – 5-6

Tamarind – 1 tblsp tightly packed

Salt – as needed

Onion,chopped – 2 tblsp

To temper

Oil – 2 tsp

Mustard – 3/4 tsp

Urad dal – 1 tsp

Curry leaves – few

Method

  1. Grind red chillies, tamarind and salt with 1/4 cup water until very smooth. transfer to a bowl.

  2. Temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table and add onion and fry till golden brown and mix it to the chutney we ground.

Notes

  • For Ragi dosa, adding water or buttermilk is your choice. I usually mix with water as I don’t like to mix with butter milk. But my mom always uses butter milk, atleast a little.
  • If you have left over sour idly/dosa batter, you can add a laddle full of that to this batter.
  • You can replace wheat flour with rice flour too. But wheat flour is recommended if you make for diabetic.
  • For the chilly chutney, it’s very important to balance the hotness,tanginess and salt to get the perfect taste. If it’s too hot, add more tamarind or salt to tally the heat. 

That’s it! Mix well and enjoy as an accompaniment with any dosa or idly…

  8. Nice and healthy dosa with a wonderful chutney as well. While I was studying in avinashilingam college coimbatore, we used to go to the villages and tell them about the healthy benefits of ragi and conduct workshops in making ragi recipes. I have not had it till date though hahaha

  12. I too make this but only for me as you do too. No one in the family would touch it. As far the chutney I take out the seeds as the kids don't like it. Nice combo Raji.

  42. My mom also combined ragi dosai with red chilli chutney 🙂 so yummy. She would however make the ones in which you grind soaked ragi grains with urad dhal (not instant). Looks great!

  59. Sush,
    You can try covering the dosa with a lid while its cooking(before flipping,untill you flip), sometimes it happens, make sure when you pour the dosa batter the tawa is hot enough to cook it instantly, if it takes time, then I think it has some white dry spots…

  60. Hey, this was nice. I make it a little differently.
    I soak 1 cup urad dall for 3 hours and then grind it. To that I add 4 cups ragi flour, salt, zeera and make dosa. This also tastes good.

  72. Oh ok, if other dosas come out good, then this too has to come out rite. Either too thin (more water)stick to pan or too thick (less water) will break. Do try in nonstick or iron pan next time…
