Ragi Wheat Dosa


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Ragi Flour (finger millet flour)
  • 1/4 cup Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 cup Curd (plain yogurt)
  • Water (to adjust batter consistency)
  • A pinch of Salt (optional, for babies 1 year and up)

Directions:

  1. Mix the Flours
    Combine 1/2 cup of ragi flour and 1/4 cup of wheat flour in a bowl. Stir gently to mix the flours together.

  2. Add the Curd
    Add 1/4 cup of curd (plain yogurt) to the flour mixture. Stir well until the ingredients form a thick, smooth paste.

  3. Adjust the Consistency
    Gradually add water, a little at a time, to achieve a smooth, pourable batter. The consistency should be similar to traditional dosa batter—neither too thick nor too thin.

  4. Season (Optional)
    If your baby is 1 year or older, add a pinch of salt for flavor. If you prefer to keep it salt-free for younger children, feel free to skip this step.

  5. Rest the Batter (Optional)
    Allow the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes if possible. This helps improve the texture of the dosas. If you're in a rush, you can skip this step.

  6. Cook the Dosas
    Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or ghee. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan and spread it gently into a thin circle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the bottom turns golden.

  7. Flip and Finish Cooking
    Flip the dosa and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

  8. Serve and Enjoy
    Serve your Ragi-Wheat Dosas hot, accompanied by chutney, sambar, or yogurt. This recipe makes about 4-5 medium-sized dosas.

Tips for Success:

  • Non-Stick Tawa: A non-stick griddle makes the dosas crispier and prevents sticking.
  • Vegan Version: Swap the curd for a plant-based yogurt (like coconut or almond yogurt) for a dairy-free version.
