Karnataka Ragi Dosa

🇮🇳 Indian

Iron-rich ragi dosa, crisp edges and earthy centre. Fermented batter, hot pan, fifty-year-old technique — south Indian breakfast engineering at its best. Serve with coconut chutney and hot sambar.

Prep 25 min Cook 22 min Serves 2 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Ginger1-inch piece
  • Green Chili2
  • Mustard Seeds1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp
  • Rice Flour1 cup
  • Finger Millet (Ragi)1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash and soak the grains and dal; grind soft, mix with salt and leave in a warm spot until the batter rises and smells faintly sour.

  2. 2

    Stir the fermented batter gently; it should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of water only if needed.

  3. 3

    Heat a cast-iron tawa or paniyaram pan over medium; a drop of water should dance and vanish.

  4. 4

    Pour a ladle of batter and spread it thin (or fill the dimples three-quarters for paniyaram); drizzle oil around the edges.

  5. 5

    Cook till crisp-bottomed and blistedy, roll or stack, and carry to the table while the first one is still crackling.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
