Karnataka Ragi Dosa
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.
Ingredients
- Yogurt2 cups, whisked
- Saltto taste
- Ginger1-inch piece
- Green Chili2

Instructions
- 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
Stir the fermented batter gently; it should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of water only if needed.
- 3
Heat a cast-iron tawa or paniyaram pan over medium; a drop of water should dance and vanish.
- 4
Pour a ladle of batter and spread it thin (or fill the dimples three-quarters for paniyaram); drizzle oil around the edges.
- 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.
