This no fermented nachni dosa is a delicious alternative made with ragi and without rice. The batter is not fermented, but tastes fabulous because of the addition of ingredients like onions and a wee bit of green chilli paste and ginger paste. Enjoy the whole nachni dosa hot, with mildly-spiced Minty Green Chutney.
Each dosa is not very high on a calorie scale and provides 1 g of fibre per dosa. Thus this ragi dosa made with whole nachni is a wise choice for people with obesity and heart problems.
