Ragi or finger millet is a healthy millet which has more calcium helps in strengthening the bone. It also helps in weight loss & controlling diabetes. This fermented ragi dosa is a healthy way to include this millet into our diet. I like the fermented version for millet dosa rather than instant dosa because the fermented dosa is soft, tasty and healthy too.
This ragi dosa recipe is from Amma’s kitchen, and she makes it at least once in two weeks. She used to soak the urad dal in the evening and grind the batter in mixie before bed. Next day for breakfast we used to have this dosa with small onion chutney, the best combination. Let’s see the recipe.
