- When the pan is hot enough, pour the batter thin across the pan as you would do for a Rava dosa/Pancake
- Then, gently spread the batter with the ladle.
- Pour a teaspoon of oil on the top and sides of the dosa and let the base cook and become crisp until the sides begin to get separated from the pan.
- Flip over and cook the other side as well. Cook till both the sides are crisp.
- Serve ragi dosa or pancake hot with any chutney/pickle/curry.
