how to make the batter

To make palak ragi dosa, in a deep bowl, add ½ cup ragi (nachni / red millet) flour. Ragi has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, which can improve the flavor of dosas. Ragi flour is high in protein and great source for vegetarians. In addition its gluten free, fiber rich food which in turn is good for diabetics and a healthy heart.
Add 1/2 cup curd (dahi). This helps to balance out the bitterness of the spinach and the earthiness of the ragi flour. Curd is one of the richest sources of protein, calcium and minerals. They help in weight reduction, good for your heart and build immunity.
Add ½ cup finely chopped spinach (palak). Spinach can help to make dosas more moist and tender. It can also help to prevent the dosa from becoming too dry or crispy. Spinach is one of the richest plant sources of Iron and it should be part of a healthy diet for everyone.

Add 1/4 cup besan (bengal gram flour). Besan helps to bind the other ingredients together and form a smooth batter. Besan has more good fat than whole wheat flour and also higher protein content. Rich in complex carbohydrates and with a low glycemic index, besan is good for diabetics too.
Add 1/4 cup oats flour. Oats are a great source of protein for Vegetarians. It is rich in soluble fibre (to make it good for diabetics), which helps lower blood LDL cholesterol, the so-called "Bad" cholesterol.
Add 1 tsp ginger (adrak) green chilli paste.
Add salt to taste.
Add ¾ cup water.

Whisk well until no lumps remain.
