As I already mentioned many times, at my home, the Sunday brunches , though they are time consuming, they are my most favourite meal to prepare and favourite meal time for my family too.
And for supper time I either prefer any of these Salads or such ‘Mix & Make’ dosa recipes. These simple instant recipes are my any day favourite ones to make, specifically to satisfy my kids hunger pangs on Saturday & Sunday evenings / supper.

Chutney suggestions:
As per me, the most suitable chutneys / condiments along with this dosa:
- Peanut Chutney / Palli Pachchadi
- Instant Coconut Chutney / Kobbari Pachchadi
- Roasted Tomato Chutney / Tomato Pachchadi
Possible Alterations for the recipe, ‘Instant Ragi Flour Dosa / Instant Finger Millet Dosa’:
Instead of whole jeera / cumin seeds, you might add same quantity of jeera / cumin powder.
Making a fine paste of ginger-green chillies-cumin can be added too.
Using brown rice flour: White rice flour can be replaced with Brown Rice flour.
Additional Ingredients to add: Adding, ¼ to ½ cup of rava / semolina while making the batter, is an option for the dosa to turn crispy. But, note that semolina is not Gluten free.
Adding 1 tablespoon of finely chopped curry leaves, gives a unique aroma.
Adding Curd: While making the dosa batter, using ½ cup of curd / yogurt along with water, is a great option too.
Health Benefits of ‘Instant Ragi Flour Dosa / Easy Finger Millet Dosa’:

Step Wise pics Procedure for ‘Instant Ragi Flour Dosa / Finger Millet Dosa’:
Making the Batter:
Gather all the chopped vegetables, flours and other ingredients at one place.
In a mixing bowl, add the ragi flour, rice flour, salt and jeera / whole cumin seeds.
Transfer the grated carrot, chopped onion, chopped ginger, chopped coriander, green chillies into the same bowl.
Whisk everything gently by pouring water slowly.
Making the Dosa:
Put a dosa pan on stove top under high flame. When its severely hot, sprinkle little water, scrub off throughout the pan with a piece of onion.
Gently pour 1 to 1½ ladles of batter, gently spread into a circle.
Pour 1 to 1½ teaspoons of oil across & over the dosa. Let it cook for 2-3 mins.
Later, using a spatula, very gently try to turn the dosa to the other side. Let it cook this side for 1 more min.
Now, gently turn the dosa back, and then fold it in the middle, take it into a serving plate. Repeat the same for rest of the batter. Done!
Tips & Storage:
- Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
- While making the batter, add water little by little, only as much is required.
- Take care that there are no lumps in the batter, it has to be smooth enough to get best dosa.
- Garlic is NOT SUITABLE for this recipe.
- In case you do not have an appropriate dosa pan, use a wide non-stick frying pan.
- Be careful while turning the dosa to the other side, there are high chances for the dosa to tear in between.
- Storage: You can make the dosa mix (adding the flours, salt, spices) and store it in an air tight container in a cool dry place for about 1 week to 10 days. Just add water and grated veggies just before making dosa(s).
- Making the batter well before is not advisable.
Result:
- As shown the below pic, I served this dosa with Beetroot Pachadi / Chutney and Mint Leaves Spice Powder / Pudina Karam Podi, which actually gave the additional flavourful taste to the dosa.
- As the flours we added have a quite dull taste, these Ragi Dosa are almost tasteless if eaten without the spicy chutneys.
- If your kids are not ready to eat the chutneys, you might serve with a simple veggie raita.

I liked how you didn’t use rava in this recipe, so I tried it out and turned out great. I also used your suggestion and made the peanut chutney with it and the combo was fantastic.
Hi Maya Desai, Yes that combination tastes really good. Thank you so much for trying the recipe and your great feedback too. 🙂 🙂
