Prep

Finely chop the onion, coriander leaves, curry leaves, and green chili.

Making the batter

For the batter, Take a bowl and add Ragi Flour, Rice flour, and Rava
To this add the chopped onions, cumin seeds, finely chopped green chili, coriander leaves, curry leaves, and salt. Mix it well
Now, add 2 cups of water and make a runny batter. Mix it thoroughly so that it does not have any lumps.
Add the remaining 1 cup water and mix it well for a thin and a runny consistency
Ragi dosa batter is ready.
At any point, if the batter feels thicker, add 1/4 cups of water.

Making the dosa

Place a tava/girdle on medium flame and wait for it to get hot
The pouring of this dosa is a little different than conventional dosa
The batter is runny. So it is poured on the girdle in a circular motion and left to settle. Fill in the big gaps by pouring extra batter as needed. Please check the video.
