INSTANT RAGI DOSA WITH RED CHILLI CHUTNEY

  
     My paati being diabetic, my mom always prepares special diabetic diet recipes for her dinner. Other than roti, she makes tiffin items with ragi. She makes sweet adai, savoury adai, idiyappam, puttu, kanji(porridge) both sweet and salted and these dosas. Those days, I was not so fond of those tiffin items. My mom will remind me that I used to drink sweet kanji when I was a baby and used to be chubby then.During my teens I was so so lean and weak and she used to struggle a lot to make me eat nutritious food and I used to escape in all ways!
     But after I started cooking, I buy ragi flour and make at least dosa with it once in a while. But now, my kid wont even touch it, my hubby also is a big enemy to healthy food items like ragi, oats! So I make this only for myself. Its easy to make in morning times also we will feel full tummy to kick start the day. I simply eat with buttermilk and idli podi. I have given the best combo chutney how ever, goes well with this dosa. The ingredients given makes 5-6 dosas.

Ingredients

Ragi flour/Finger millet flour 1/2 cup
Wheat flour 1/4 cup
Onion 1
Green chilli 1
Curry leaves 1 sprig
Cumin/jeera 1tsp
Salt as needed
Butter milk(optional) or water As needed

 

Method


    1. Take ragi,wheat flour, chopped onions,green chilli, torn curry leaves, cumin,salt in a bowl and add enough butter milk or water to make thin batter.

   2. Heat dosa pan, drizzle with oil and pour as we do for rava dosa,drizzle some more oil and cook both sides in medium flame.

 
         Serve hot with your favourite chutney! Tangy,hot or simply coconut chutney or milagai podi!


RED CHILLI CHUTNEY RECIPE FOR RAGI DOSA


    This chutney is very nice combo for ragi dosa. Easy to make too! My mom makes this with even idli / dosa. The chutney requires simplest ingredients in your pantry and the key is to balance all the three – chilli-salt-tamarind. Its perfect for the bland ragi dosa.


Ingredients

Red chillies 5-6
Tamarind 1 tblsp tightly packed
Salt as needed
Onion,chopped 2 tblsp
To temper
Oil 2 tsp
Mustard 3/4 tsp
Urad dal 1 tsp
Curry leaves few

 

Method


    1. Grind red chillies, tamarind and salt with 1/4 cup water until very smooth. transfer to a bowl.

    2. Temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table and add onion and fry till golden brown and mix it to the chutney we ground.

That’s it! Mix well and enjoy as an accompaniment with any dosa or idly…


Notes
  • For Ragi dosa, adding water or buttermilk is your choice. I usually mix with water as I don’t like to mix with butter milk. But my mom always uses butter milk, atleast a little.
  • If you have left over sour idly/dosa batter, you can add a laddle full of that to this batter.
  • You can replace wheat flour with rice flour too. But wheat flour is recommended if you make for diabetic.
  • For the chilly chutney, its very important to balance the hotness,tanginess and salt to get the perfect taste. If its too hot, add more tamarind or salt to tally the heat.

Nice and healthy dosa with a wonderful chutney as well. While I was studying in avinashilingam college coimbatore, we used to go to the villages and tell them about the healthy benefits of ragi and conduct workshops in making ragi recipes. I have not had it till date though hahaha
