Finger Millet(Ragi) – Vegetable Dosa
When I was working in Bangalore, the company provided evening snacks to all employees. A different snack is served each day of the week. A ragi-vegetable dosa was one of them. I absolutely loved these dosas unlike all my friends. I have been trying to recreate it ever since. I think with this recipe, I came pretty close.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup urad dal
1 cup rice (I used 1/2 cup brown rice + 1/2 cup boiled rice)
1/2 cup finger millet(ragi flour)
Salt
Oil
1 cup(approx) vegetables (finely chopped/grated carrot, onion and cucumber)
Method:
Soak urad dal and rice for about 4-5hrs. Grind to a smooth batter. Mix salt and ragi flour. The consistency of batter should be like normal dosa batter. Keep overnight for fermentation.
Next day, mix in vegetables. Make thin dosas. Serve hot.
Serves : 4-5
Preparation time : 30mins
PS: Boiled rice and brown rice both make the dosas very soft. So for more crispier dosas, use normal white rice.
I love these…for quick ones i use the ragi flour different types of flour..
Such a tasty and healthy meal, this will be great for brekfast.
Nutritious dosa. I love this dosa!
Nice color..never tried this way..have bookmarked it.. Thanks !!
Hi Shilpa,
I just found this website while searching for receipes. This website has really helped me a lot. Everyday I keep on trying some or other receipes and everyone in home loves the dishes.
Shilpa I wanted to try some cakes, but in your receipe it says like bake in 250 degree for 30 minutes. I have a microwave oven with conviention, so please guide me how to bake the cake in the microwave oven.
Thanks
With Love
I am trying to like ragi. This might be the best way.
What kind of chatni is best with these dosas?
As I remember, it was served with coconut chutney. I served it with a simple potato bhaji.
Interesting twist to the dosa recipe.
Further, congratulations for the new looks of this website. It is very user friendly now.
I always made ragi dosa with ragi flour and urad dal and never tried adding rice. Your version looks nicer. I will definitely try this. Thanks
Now that’s a fantastic workplace- where tiffin is served every evening!!
The dosa looks fantastic, I love ragi because it is so filling, I feel satisfied for hours after eating ragi.
do i grate the vegetables?which vegetables can be used?
Kalpana, as I have already mentioned in the recipe, you can grate or finely chop vegetables. Vegetables used – carrot, onion & cucumber
Looks awesome Shilpa!
And Raagi is sooo nutritious, particularly loaded with iron and essential minerals.
We make a Raagi bhakri at home with no other flour. it is of course less photogenic, but hardier. I eat one and am stuffed for the day. See.

Dear Shilpaji,
This dosa recipe is great. Anyone tell me what is call in Gujarati for Ragi flour.
Would you give recipe for Instant Dosa making.
Thnaks
You can try instant rice flour dosa. There are many dosa recipes under dosa corner. Please have a look. Many are instant dosas.
Hey Shipa,
I simply lovee dosas… but have never tried ragi dosa. Will surely make them.
Thanks
i love part rice part ragi dosa too. thanks for this recipe, shilpa.
Thank you for all the recipes! It makes it so much easier for us!
Hi Shilpa,
Do you think we can make just ragi dosa ..with veggies. to avoid the grinding part?Can soaking in buttermilk help quick fermentation? A friend does it this way but I havent made this yet.
Sorry, I don’t know with urad and ragi. I have seen some quick dosas only with ragi but they usually become grainy.
if u want to make softer bhakris add some wheat flour, they become easy to roll with a rolling pin.we call it chakri.
