Dosas are a staple at my home; they're easy to make, go with all kinds of side dishes and are healthy. However, my son was bored with all the usual (according to him, 'boring') dosa varieties and he wanted something new! I was searching for a different kind of dosa when I came across one here. This is a different kind of ragi dosa, and not the regular one made by mixing ragi flour with Dosa batter. With a few additions to the original recipe, I got a new instant ragi dosa that had my son smiling!!
Ingredients
- Homemade Ragi Flour - 1 cup
- Wheat flour - 1/2 cup
- Grated carrots - 1/2 cup
- Cumin/Jeera Powder - 1 teaspoon
- Salt to taste ( you can skip the salt for babies under 1 year)
- Water or Buttermilk as needed
- Optional: Coriander leaves, curry leaves, grated/chopped vegetables, onions
Method
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients and whisk to make a batter with the same consistency as dosa batter . You make the batter very thin as for rawa dosas, I made mine a little thick since my son prefers it like that.
2. Drizzle the dosa tawa with oil or ghee. Pour a ladle of batter and spread it as you would for a regular dosa. When the sides begin to cook, flip the dosas over and cook on both sides.
3. The dosas should be a light brown. Serve with chutney or a dip of your choice.
You can actually make any version of this dosa by mixing in vegetables of your choice. You can also top with some grated cheese, if that's what it takes to get your little one to eat!
