Instructions

In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
Add the ragi flour and brown rice flour to the mashed banana.
Whisk in the almond milk and palm sugar until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Gently fold in the chopped almonds.
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with olive oil. This prevents sticking and adds flavor.
Pour two ladles of batter onto the hot pan, spreading it into a thick circle. Drizzle a little more olive oil around the edges of the dosa.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flipping ensures even cooking.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

You can also use chopped walnuts.
Soy milk can be a good replacement for almond milk.
Honey can be a good accompaniment for this dosa.
For a crispier texture, let the dosa batter rest for 15–20 minutes before cooking; this allows the ragi and rice flours to hydrate fully and yield a better crunch.
If you prefer a richer flavor, sprinkle finely chopped almonds or crushed pistachios onto the dosa while it's cooking, just before flipping, for added crunch and visual appeal.
For a vegan caramelized topping, sauté sliced bananas in a teaspoon of coconut oil and a sprinkle of palm sugar, then serve over the dosas for an extra-special dessert presentation.

Expert Tips

For savory dosas, consider adding finely chopped onions, chilies, or grated ginger to the batter for an extra kick.
Experiment with different types of flour. Buckwheat flour or a combination of lentils and rice can create unique flavors and textures.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or non-stick pan for optimal dosa cooking, ensuring even heat distribution and preventing sticking.

Storage Instructions

Leftover dosas can be cooled completely, stacked with parchment between each, and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat them on a hot pan to restore their crunchiness before serving.
