Ragi Dosa

1/4 cup rice flour
Salt to taste
A bit of asafoetida
3 tbsp buttermilk
Finely chopped green chillies and cumin seeds(optional)
Oil
Mix all the ingredients together to get a batter which is a bit thinner than normal dosa batter.
Let it aside for 10 minutes. Heat tava and spread out a big ladle of batter in an ciruclar manner. Spread a
little oil in the corners and cook for a minute. Turn it and cook on other side as well. If the dosa is not soft,
then it requires more water.
Serve hot with chutney and sambhar.
Method 2 : Fermented batter
Ingredients (Translation)
1/2 cup blackgram dal
1 1/4 cup ragi flour

Oil
The batter is same as that of ragi idli. Check out the batter here.
