Sweet Ragi Dosa Recipe / Kelvaragu Inippu Dosai Recipe

Hi friends,
              Today I'm going to share with you one of the traditional food of our south Indian villages. Ya  I'm talking about the recipe made out of Ragi. Village people make porridge and drink with the buttermilk..That's why they are healthy and they are able to do physical work throughout their life. Ragi gives us strength and it cools our body.It has fiber and lowers the cholesterol level.
               Variety of dishes can be prepared out of Ragi. Like dosa, porridge, ragi balls, vermicelli, pakoda,and many sweet items. Dosa can be prepared in two ways. By adding sweet (Sweet dosa) and by adding chillies (Kara dosa). Children love to eat dosa with jaggery. We must introduce  them these kind of ragi food in their childhood itself. We'll see how to make Sweet Ragi Dosa.

Ingredients:

• Ragi flour 250g
• Jaggery 150g
