Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Combine 1 cup ragi flour and 1.5 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Instant Ragi Dosa
- For a smoother batter, use finely ground ragi flour. Sieving it before use is also recommended.
- Don't over-mix the batter, as this can make the dosas tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Adjust the amount of water according to the consistency of the ragi flour. Some brands may require more or less water.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little water; if it's too thin, add a little more ragi flour and mix well.
