Ragi Dosa Recipe
1. For healthier version, sprouted ragi flour can be used.
2. Addition of rice is must, as it gives stiffness to the dosa.
3. To make it diabetic friendly, rice flour can be substituted with wheat flour.
4. Rice flour /wheat flour can be replaced with same quantity of all purpose flour/ maida. But maida is always unhealthy.
5. Use only sour buttermilk for this instant ragi dosa recipe.
6. Water can be used in place of buttermilk. But I recommend using atleast 1/4 cup of buttermilk.
7. The batter should be watery than the normal dosa batter.
8. For more taste don’t skip onion, chilli and jeera. But you can prepare this as plain dosa also.
9. Ghee / butter can be used for making dosa, if you are calorie conscious do it with oil only.
