Ragi is a high source of protein and one of the healthiest options when it comes to preparing dosas. Instead of rice, ragi helps absorb all the nutrients for a perfect meal combo.

Ingredients

1 cup ragi flour ¼ cup moong dal ½ cup quinoa or dalia 1 spoon of methi seeds Water as needed Salt as needed

Step 1

Wash the moong dal, quinoa and methi seeds together. Let it soak for 5-6 hours.

Step 2

Once soaked. Drain the water. Pour it into a grinder. Turn into a thick paste. Use water if needed.

Step 3

Transfer this batter to a mixing bowl. Add the ragi flour.  Mix well until no lumps remain.

Step 4

Add salt and water to get a dosa batter consistency. It should not be too thick or too thin. Let it ferment overnight for 8-10 hours.

Step 5

The next day, heat a pan with oil or ghee. Pour a ladle of batter in the centre and spread it out.

Step 6

Cook until crisp and golden. Fold it. Repeat with all of the batter. Serve with ginger chutney or coconut chutney!
