Ragi Chila

Ragi Chila is a quick and easy recipe for breakfast, which requires no fermentation. This instant ragi chila or crepe is made with ragi which is known as finger millet flour, curds and semolina. Ragi is a healthy, nutritious, quick Indian breakfast recipe. This looks similar to rava dosa in texture but with different taste.

Ingredients:
1 Cup ragi (nachini flour or finger millet flour)
¼ Cup semolina
1 Green chili chopped finely
Handful green coriander chopped finely
¼ Cup chopped onion
1 Tsp ginger freshly grated
2 Cups water
½ Cup thick curd
Oil for cooking

For Tempering:
1 Tsp oil
½ Tsp cumin seed
½ Tsp mustard seed
10-15 Curry leaves chopped finely

Method:
At first, take a mixing bowl and add ragi flour and semolina.
To this add chopped onion, grated ginger, chopped chili, and curd. Add 2 cups of water and mix well. Adjust water consistency as per requirement.
In a frying pan heat oil. Once the oil is hot enough add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Add this tempering to the mixture. Mix well and adjust salt as per taste. Let the batter rest for 30-40 mins. If you find the mixture too thick add ½ cup extra water. Heat the griddle on medium flame.
Pour a ladleful batter on the griddle. Sprinkle some oil on the top. Cover it for a minute or so. The flame should be low at this time.
It takes a minute to cook from one side, flip it over to another side and cook for few seconds.
Transfer it to a plate and serve with coconut chutney or coriander chutney.
