Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup Ragi Flour (finger millet flour)
- 2 Tbsp Rice Flour brown
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Banana mashed, ripe
- ¾ cup Almond Milk
Toppings & Cooking
- 2 Tbsp Almonds chopped
- 2 tsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Palm Sugar
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.
