Instant Ragi Dosa – Crispy dosas made with finger millet (ragi) flour and rice flour.
Instant dosas are a blessing. While traditional dosas require long hours of soaking and fermentation, instant dosas can be made without prior preparation. There are variety of instant dosas one can make using various flours. I love using finger millets for making dosas and idlis, my favourite being sprouted ragi dosa. However when you have not soaked ragi for making dosa, this instant ragi dosa is a great option. Ragi is one of the most nutritious and healthy cereals It is rich in minerals and proteins, Owing to its nutritive properties, it is advisable to include ragi in our diet. There are umpteen number of dishes one can make using ragi. Some of them are dosas, parathas, rotis, laddoo, cake etc.
