Fermented ragi batter creates thin, crisp dosas with a nutty flavour and airy texture, making this ragi dosa batter recipe a wholesome breakfast option that pairs beautifully with coconut chutney, podi, or hot sambar.

Ingredients

1 cup ragi flour 1 cup rice 1/2 cup urad dal 1 tsp fenugreek seeds Salt to taste Water as needed

Step 1

Wash and soak rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately in water for at least 5 hours.

Step 2

Grind the soaked rice and dal into a smooth batter using enough water for easy blending.

Step 3

Mix ragi flour into the batter and stir well until no lumps remain.

Step 4

Cover the bowl and leave the batter overnight in a warm place so it ferments and rises slightly.

Step 5

Add salt, spread the batter thinly on a hot, greased pan, and cook both sides until the dosa turns crisp and golden.
