Ragi Oatmeal dosa is packed with protein and fiber is a delicious alternative to a bland porridge. Ragi and Oatmeal flour are whisked together and spiced up with green chillies, coriander leaves and cumin. The result is an absolutely delicious flavor and packing you up with all that energy. This has always been a quick fix meal for me when I run out of groceries. My children enjoy these dosa's for breakfast or dinner. It taste great with just a cup of yogurt, but I love to serve it with sambar and tomato chutney or just along with jaggery and butter
Makes: 5 - 6 dosa’s
Ingredients
1/2 ragi flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup semolina/sooji/rava
2 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon green chillies, finely chopped
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly chopped coriander leaves
oil for each dosa
salt to taste
Method
In a large bowl combine the Semolina, flours and salt. Stir 2 cups of water to make a thick batter. Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the remaining ingredients except the oil/ghee. Combine well. Finally add 1/2 cup more water to the batter to make it of thin pouring consistency. It is thinner than the pancake/dosa batter.
(when the batter is thin, it spreads like wild on a heated skillet, producing holes in the dosa and making it crisp)
Heat a iron skillet or dosa tawa on high heat. Make sure the skillet is very hot. To test the heat, sprinkle some water on the skillet, it will sizzle loud. This is when you know you skillet is ready to make the Rava Dosa.
Pour a ladle of the batter starting from the outer edges. The batter will sizzle and spread itself forming holes. Fill in the batter where there are gaps. Although allow the dosa to have a few holes.
Turn the heat to medium, if you want a crisp dosa. The slower it cooks, the crispier it gets.
Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of oil around the dosa and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Once cooked turn it over and allow to cook for another minute. At this stage the dosa will be thin and crisp, with one side golden brown in color.
Remove the dosa off the skillet and fold from both sides. Repeat to make the remaining dosas. Serve hot with sambar and tomato chutney.
Note: Do not try to spread the batter like we do for the normal dosa. The batter should be thin enough to flow and spread itself on the tava and form shape on its own. You can turn the skillet around to help form a shape without using a laddle.
Heat griddle; turn to high heat; pour a laddle full of batter on the griddle from outside to inside, The batter will spread on its own due to the heat. Fill up open spaces. The dosa will have tiny holes in them, this allows the dosa to breathe and get crisp as well. Now pour a teaspoon of oil around the dosa.
Allow it to cook on medium heat.
Flip when the bottom site is done (turned golden brown). Wait for the other side to get cooked, about 1 minute. You will notice the dosa has become crisp.
Since yogurt is added, these dosa’s can turn out to be soft. If you like it to be crisp, then cook it in simmer and add a little more oil, until you get the desired texture.
Savor these dosa’s just like that, or with tomato onion chutney.
