Ragi Rava Dosa | Fingermillet and Semolina Crepes | Bachelor Recipes

Its not rare that we find young professionals slogging it out – away from their hometown, their comfort zone, and more importantly away from Mom’s cooking (aka maa ke haath ka khana). While today’s youngsters have better and more variety of eating options – to call food from outside, its not always feasible healthwise or economically. This week, you would see simple to make dishes or preps – not just for bachelors, but also for those living alone. Thanks to Valli, for this theme made me sit up and jot down so many ideas that Cooking for oneself can be both healthy and fun. Sending this to BM#49 under “Bachelor / cooking for one” series 🙂

A quick bachelor fix –
Dosa. There are thousands of varieties of dosa- 
both fermented and instant like Wholewheat dosa, Brown Rice DosaUlundu DosaCornmeal Dosa,Set Dosa etc. But while cooking for oneself, time is a
premium. So, today’s dosa is an instant version – and can be had for both breakfast or a quick brunch. We
had it for a Sunday lunch along with Avial for a filling meal. Tastes best with
Idli/Dosa Molagapudi (spiced lentil powder). Hope you like the series this week.

10 mins | Cooking Time : 10 mins

Makes : 4
medium sized dosas / crepes

Serving suggestions : Any chutney or Molagapudi (spiced lentil powder)

    a large ladle of batter and start spreading from outer to inner circles.
    Drizzle oil around the sides. Let it cook on both sides (approx. 2-3 mins)

    Nice choice. I usually add some urad flour while making ragi dosas. Rice flour and rava make this dosa definitely crispier.

Thanks so much for dropping by.
