Step 2: Heat the Tawa:

Then heat the iron pan or nonstick pan on a medium-low flame. Once the pan is heated, add some oil in it and apply it all over the pan.

Step 3: Cook the Dosa:

• If the pan is hot, make sure to put in the batter. 

• Start putting the batter in the corners of the pan and put it completely in the pan. 

•  let it cook on a medium-low flame till it becomes crispy and golden brown. 

• Once the corners of the dosa start coming out, handle it gently and remove it with a tawa. 

• But keep in mind to always mix the batter twice and then put it in the pan.

Step 4: Repeat & Serve

Repeat the same process for ramen quail, and stir the quail each time before pouring.

Serving suggestion:

You can also eat ragi dosa with spicy and tangy coconut chutney, which will enhance its taste. Or with ketchup or mint chutney, which will give it a refreshing flavor. You can also eat it with sambar for an authentic South Indian experience. With each different chutney, its taste becomes different, and it tastes even tastier.

Variations to try:

Instant Plain Ragi Dosa:

You can skip onion and green chili for plain ragi dosa.

Masala Ragi Dosa:

Add the layer of masala potato, like masala dosa, and your masala ragi dosa is ready.

Cheese Ragi Dosa:

For the cheese ragi dosa, add some grated cheese on top of the dosa when it's semi-cooked.

Fasting-Friendly Ragi Dosa:

For fasting-friendly ragi dosa, skip onion and use rock salt instead of normal salt.

Tips for perfect dosa:

• Your batter should be thin.

• Mix the batter well every time and spread it on the tawa.

• Use cold water while making the batter so that your dough becomes even crispier.

• You should use an iron tawa instead of a nonstick tawa.
