Ingredients

• 1 cup Ragi (finger millet) flour
• 0.5 cup Rice flour
• 0.25 cup Yogurt (plain, low-sodium)
• 1.5 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 Green chili (finely chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking)
• 0 teaspoon Salt (optional or to taste)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of ragi flour and 0.5 cup of rice flour.

Step 2

Add 0.25 cup of plain low-sodium yogurt to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Gradually add 1.5 cups of water while stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.

Step 4

Stir in 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 finely chopped green chili, 0.5 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped coriander leaves.

Step 5

Optionally, add a small pinch of salt if desired, keeping the sodium content in mind.

Step 6

Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of oil.

Step 8

Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it out in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 9

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges to help it cook evenly.

Step 10

Cook until the dosa turns golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes), then gently flip it using a spatula.

Step 11

Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it's crispy.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stirring it occasionally.

Step 13

Serve the low sodium ragi dosa warm with a side of your favorite chutney or low-sodium sambar.
