Ragi Flakes Dosa Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Organic Finger Millet Flakes
- 1/2 Cup Butter Milk
- 1 green chilly
- 1/2 inch root Ginger
- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp Flax Seeds
- Salt to taste.
- 1 tbsp ghee
Instructions:
1. To prepare the tantalizing Ragi Flakes Dosa, begin by soaking the Finger Millet Flakes in 1 cup of water along with a pinch of salt. Allow the flakes to soak for approximately 1 minute, allowing them to soften and absorb the flavors. This step helps ensure that the dosa batter achieves the perfect consistency for a delightful culinary experience.
2. After draining, give the Finger Millet Flakes another 10-minute soak in butter milk. This step enhances the fermentation process and adds a tangy taste to the dosa batter.
3. Transfer the soaked Finger Millet Flakes to a grinder jar, along with chili, ginger, cumin seeds, and flax seeds. Grind the mixture until it forms a smooth paste. This process combines the flavors and ingredients, creating a well-blended batter that will contribute to the delightful texture and taste of the Ragi Flakes Dosa.
4. Next, add salt to the ground mixture and pour in enough water to achieve a flowing consistency of the batter. Stir well to ensure that the salt is evenly distributed and the batter is properly combined. Adjust the water quantity as needed to attain the desired consistency. This step is crucial in creating a well-balanced and smooth batter that will result in perfectly cooked Ragi Flakes Dosas.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet and pour a ladle full of batter onto it. Spread the batter in a circular motion to form a dosa of your desired thickness. Drizzle a few drops of ghee on the sides of the dosa for added flavor.
6. Cook the dosa on a low to medium flame until it turns crisp and is cooked thoroughly from both sides. This step requires patience as it allows the dosa to develop a golden-brown color and a delightful crunch. Flip the dosa carefully to ensure even cooking on both sides. Cooking it to perfection ensures that the flavors meld together and the dosa attains the desired texture.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, making more dosas in the same manner. Continue pouring ladlefuls of batter, spreading it in a circular motion, and cooking until crisp and cooked on both sides. This step ensures that you can enjoy a stack of delicious and nutritious Ragi Flakes Dosas to serve and relish.
You can serve the Raagi Flakes Dosa with a chutney, sauce or just gunpowder. I served it with Peanut chutney and it was a big hit in our home! This dosa is a nutritious breakfast recipe and also works as an after school snack. It does not require extended soaking and fermentation, and can be made in a jiffy. A great solution for busy mornings too!
