Healthy Ragi Dosa which can be made instantly ! In India Ragi known as nachni Or finger millet is my favorite ingredient. Generally dosas require fermentation process. Although this is fast, easy and convenient recipe for Instant Ragi Dosa. It happens with everyone due to lack of time, forgetfulness in soaking grain, grinding then fermenting consumes a lot of time and energy. So came up with a quick way of dosa which also has semolina.
I have added semolina to the flour which gives nice texture, body and taste to the ragi dosa. This dish is made with few basic ingredients easily found in your kitchen. I have used organic ragi flour for a healthier version. You could use plain ragi flour Or organic ragi flour which is easily available in stores.
Generally tend to buy organic stuff like organic salt, rice, sugar, grains etc. As organic ingredients are pure and free from harsh chemicals. Although they are little expensive but better to eat healthy stuff. Atleast basic food organic ingredients like rice, sugar, wheat flour, grains can be purchased.
Ragi is generally eaten in Southern India. Some benefits of ragi are they have good amount of calcium, iron and minerals. Also ragi is economical unlike other grains. It also keeps diseases like osteoporosis, bone diseases at bay if you eat them regularly. Also there are lot of varieties of dish made from ragi flour like dosas, idlis, rotis, bread, desserts, savories, papads etc.
I eat ragi oats porridge almost thrice a week. Ragi is essential in my diet. My hubby was hungry last sunday evening. So I just thought of coming up with this version of dosa. To my surprise hubby loved it and asked for more. So have decided to make these quite often. I have tried some healthy ragi recipes like Ragi Oats Porridge, Ragi Dosa Recipe, Ragi Wheat Ladoo, Ragi Poori and Goan Dodol Recipe.
If you have any good recipes made with ragi do share them.
