Organic Rice Flour
Rice flour creates the signature crisp texture that makes dosa irresistible. It balances the earthy flavor of ragi and improves the batter's spreadability.
Together, these flours create the ideal combination of taste, texture, and nutrition.

Step 1 – Prepare the Batter
Take a large mixing bowl and combine:
- Organic Finger Millet Flour
- Organic Rice Flour
- Rava
- Grated ginger
- Chopped green chili
- Cumin seeds
- Salt
Add curd and slowly pour water while whisking continuously.
Mix until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.

Allow it to heat evenly before pouring the batter.
A properly heated pan ensures:
- Better spreadability

Spread gently in circular motions.
Drizzle oil or ghee around the edges.

Flip briefly if needed and cook the other side.
Serve immediately while hot.
