I tried these instant ragi dosa’s and they came out really good. We absolutely enjoyed these dosa’s. This batter need not be fermented. We just need to have the urad dal paste ready. I served it with onion chutney.

For more breakfast and chutney recipes, do check in this link

Ingredients:

Ragi Flour : 1 cup

Rice flour : 1/4 cup

Urad dal : 2 tablespoons

Salt : as needed

Water : as needed

Oil : as needed

Method:

  • Soak urad dal for 45 mins to 1 hour. Grind it to a fine paste.
  • Mix ragi flour, rice flour and urad dal paste.
  • Add salt and water and mix it to dosa batter consistency.

It has been really long since I used my oven to bake something. Guess it is almost 3 months now. Finally few days back I tried to make a beetroot cake, guess what it turned out to be the worst I had ever tried 😛 We threw the complete cake in trash 😦

Coming to this post, yesterday I tried these biscuits and turned out super awesome.These Ragi biscuits are very famous in Bangalore. My usual snack during my spinster Bangalore days used to be these. One pack would cost around 20 to 30 rupees. My friends used to make fun of me on why am I having these biscuits. But I love these biscuits so much, specially the savory biscuits. I wanted to try and turned out well. My hubby will pick up only one piece of any snack that I make, at the max 2. This time he had 3 at a time and he said everything was perfect and Malar is very happy now 😀 Hope everyone likes it too 🙂

Ragi_biscuits_2

 

Ragi_biscuits_1 Ragi_biscuits

 

Ingredients:

Ragi Flour/Finger Millet Flour : 1 1/2 cups

Whole Wheat Flour : 1/2 cup

Oil : 1/4 cup +1 tablespoon

Salt : 1 1/2 teaspoon

Sugar : 1 teaspoon

Red Chili Powder : 2 teaspoon ( can increase to 3 teaspoons)

Yogurt/Curd : 4 tablespoons

Water : 1/4 to 1/2 cup(adjust accordingly)

Method:

  • Dry roast ragi flour for 5 mins. (3 mins in medium and 2 mins in low medium)
  • Make sure not to burn the flour, keep stirring. Leave it to cool after roasting.
  • Next in a medium bowl, sieve the roasted ragi flour. Add wheat flour, red chili powder, salt and sugar. Mix well.
  • Now add yogurt, oil to the flour and mix. Then slowly add water and make a soft dough.
  • Let it rest for 10 mins.
  • Meantime preheat oven to 400F and line the baking tray with parchment paper. Spray with cooking oil.
  • Now in a surface sprinkle some flour. Divide the dough to 3 parts. Roll the dough on the surface and take a cookie cutter ( I used just a small bowl to make round shape) and cut the dough to desired shape.
  • Place on the baking tray. I baked it for 23 mins. ( First I tried with 18 mins, didn’t feel the crunchiness, so added 5 more mins)

This is a great tea time snack. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee 🙂

Notes:

I could get around 20 pieces. It depends on the size and shape which you are preparing.

Oil can be replaced with butter. Red chili powder can be replaced with green chili paste.

If desired instead of yogurt, egg can also be added.

For sweet version add sugar more with just a pinch of salt and cut down chili powder.

If you want a gluten free, cut wheat flour and add ragi flour instead.

First of all wishing everyone a very happy new year 🙂 I know I am very late in wishing, yet life has been really busy these days. Holidays were a little hectic and we were moving around a lot. If you are following Srividhya from Vidhya’s Vegetarian Kitchen and Vidya from Traditionally Modern Food, you must have found a post on our meet during the holidays. It was total fun, we could just meet for an hour and a half which was not enough for us. I never expected that this virtual world of blogging would give me friends. I am so happy and delighted to have so many friends around 🙂 It was so sweet of both of them to adjust their time and make plans. Both of them changed their plans for me, so sweet of both of you 🙂 Thanks for the gift girls.. Next we should plan for a longer time meet 🙂

I wanted to start the blog with a sweet this year, so here is a healthy breakfast/snack in a sweet version Ragi puttu…You can also make a salt version with this, recipe soon to come. I love this puttu and used to make it often when I was in Bangalore, but after moving to US, I had totally forgotten it. These days I am trying to include more of millets in my diet, so this came to my mind. This is a very easy, fast and a very healthy recipe. Hope everyone likes it.

Ragi_Puttu Ragi_Puttu_1 Ragi_Puttu_2

Ingredients:

Ragi Flour : 3/4 cup

Water : 1/4 cup (or as per need)

Sugar : 1 tablespoon

Grated Coconut : 2 tablespoons

Ghee : 2 tablespoons

Method:

  • Take ragi flour in a bowl, sprinkle water little by little and mix. Make a crumbly mixture of it. Should not form a dough, just make sure all the flour absorbs enough water to form the crumbling texture.
  • Take an idly pot or a cooker , fill the with 2 to 3 cups of water. Heat the water.
  • Now put this crumble mixture in a bowl and place it inside the cooker or idly pot.
  • Steam it for 10 mins in high. If you are using cooker close the cooker with a lid, do not use whistle/pressure regulator.
  • After 10 mins open and sprinkle some more water an mix well. Now steam for another 5 mins. Make sure it is crumbly in texture and not like a dough.
  • Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons of ghee.
  • Now after 5 mins stop and add sugar, coconut, heated ghee and mix well.
  • Now puttu is ready.

Note : After preparing just make sure, if you hold it in hands and press, it should be able to form a ball and should not crumble. In case it crumbles and separates, add more heated ghee and mix.

I have used brown sugar, you can use any type of sugar variety or palm sugar to get the sweetness.

Once again Happy New Year friends, I hope to be regular in the coming days 🙂
