Sweet Ragi Dosa (Sweet Finger Millet Crepes)

Blogging Marathon# 50: Week 4/ Day 2

Theme: Bookmarked Recipes

Dish: Sweet Ragi Dosa from Suganya's recipe here.

For the final day of 'Bookmarked recipes -- Ragi', I made these sweet ragi dosa from Suganya's blog. I made these few years ago and have been wanting to make them again for a while. It took me all this while to make these yummy dosas again.

Ragi flour has a nutty, earthy taste and the combination of ragi and jaggery is a definite hit. These sweet dosas are flavored with a hint of ground cardamom making these taste more like a dessert. They tasted like crepes to me and I almost felt like drizzling chocolate syrup on top, but controlled myself and drizzled some ghee, sprinkled some chopped walnuts on top instead.

These ragi dosas can be served for breakfast, snack or even lunch (which is when I had them). My 2 year old also loved them and I'm sure my picky son will also like them if I drizzle some chocolate syrup :-)

Recipe adapted from here:

Ingredients: Makes 4~6 medium size dosas

Ragi Flour - 1cup
Rice flour - 2tbsp
Jaggery - ½cup, grated
Dry grated coconut - 1tbsp
Ground Cardamom - 1tsp
Walnuts or other nuts - few, chopped
Salt - to taste

Method:

• In a small saucepan, bring 1cup of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the grated jaggery, mix well for the jaggery to melt. Cool slightly.
• Add the ragi flour, rice flourm salt, ground cardamom and grated coconut. Whisk well to combine all the ingredients. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick pan, pour 2 ladle full of batter and spread it around into medium size dosas. Drizzle a little oil or ghee over the dosa and cook on medium flame until the dosa is golden and cooked through.
