1 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)
3.5 cups Water (Adjust for a very thin, watery consistency)
3 tbsp Ghee (For cooking the dosas)
Instructions
1
Combine Flours and Aromatics
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of ragi flour, 0.5 cup of rice flour, and 0.25 cup of suji. Ensure they are well combined and free of lumps.
To the flour mixture, add 1 finely chopped onion, 2 finely chopped green chilies, 1 inch of grated ginger, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, 2 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves, and 1 tsp of salt. Mix everything thoroughly.
2
Prepare and Rest the Batter (30 minutes)
Stir in 0.25 cup of curd to form a thick paste. This helps in incorporating the curd evenly.
Gradually pour in 3.5 cups of water while whisking continuously to create a smooth, very thin batter. The consistency should be like runny buttermilk or thin chaas.
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This crucial step allows the suji to absorb water and swell, which is essential for a crispy texture.
3
Heat the Tawa (Griddle)
Place a cast-iron or non-stick tawa on medium-high heat. It must be very hot for a crispy dosa.
To test the heat, sprinkle a few drops of water on the tawa; they should sizzle and evaporate almost instantly.
Lightly grease the hot tawa with a few drops of ghee using a paper towel or half an onion.
4
Cook the Dosas (2-3 minutes per dosa)
Stir the batter well from the bottom before making each dosa, as the flours tend to settle.
Take a ladleful of the thin batter and pour it from a height of 4-5 inches onto the hot tawa. Start from the edges and move towards the center in a circular motion. Do not try to spread it like a regular dosa.
Fill any large gaps with a little more batter to create a lacy, net-like pattern.
Drizzle about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of ghee around the edges and on top of the dosa.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat. The bottom will turn golden brown and crisp, and the edges will start to lift away from the tawa.
This type of dosa does not need to be flipped. Once crisp, fold it in half and carefully remove it from the tawa.
Repeat the process for the remaining batter, stirring it well each time.
5
Serve Immediately
Serve the hot and crispy Ragi Dosas immediately with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar for the best taste and texture.

Ingredients
1 cup Raw Peanuts (Skin-on or skinless both work)
4 pcs Dried Red Chillies (Adjust to taste. Use Byadgi for color or Guntur for heat.)
3 pcs Garlic Cloves (Medium-sized)
1 tsp Tamarind Paste (Or use pulp from a small marble-sized piece of tamarind)
0.75 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)
0.75 cup Water (For grinding, adjust for desired consistency)
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil (Any neutral oil will work)
0.5 tsp Mustard Seeds
0.5 tsp Urad Dal (Split and skinned black gram)
10 pcs Curry Leaves (Fresh is recommended)
0.25 tsp Hing (Asafoetida powder)
Instructions
1
Roast Peanuts and Aromatics
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat. Add the raw peanuts and dry roast, stirring continuously for 5-7 minutes until they become aromatic, lightly golden, and you hear a popping sound.
Add the dried red chillies and garlic cloves to the pan. Continue to roast for another 1-2 minutes until the chillies are crisp and the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a plate to cool down completely. This is crucial to prevent overcooking and to get a smooth grind.
2
Grind the Chutney
Once cooled, transfer the roasted peanut mixture to a high-speed blender or grinder jar.
Add the tamarind paste, salt, and about 1/2 cup of water.
Blend until you get a smooth paste, scraping down the sides of the jar as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of water, or more, tablespoon by tablespoon, until you reach your desired consistency. The chutney should be thick but pourable.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan (tadka pan) over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds. Wait for them to splutter completely, which should take about 30 seconds.
Add the urad dal and sauté for 30-45 seconds until it turns a light golden brown.
Add the fresh curry leaves (stand back as they will crackle) and the hing. Sauté for another 10-15 seconds until the leaves are crisp.
4
Combine and Serve
Immediately pour the hot tempering over the peanut chutney in the bowl.
Mix gently to incorporate the tempering. The chutney is now ready to be served.
Serve fresh with hot idlis, dosas, uttapam, or vada.
Gently start scrambling the eggs with a spatula, breaking them into soft curds. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooked but still moist.
5
Garnish and serve
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the garam masala and chopped coriander leaves over the bhurji.
Give it a final gentle mix. Serve immediately with hot rotis, pav (bread rolls), or toast.
