Instant Vellam Dosai Made With Ragi Flour And Whole Wheat Flour

This Instant Vellam Dosai is a quick and easy recipe to make for dinner if you are bored with traditional dosai. They can be had with a side of butter and do not require elaborate sides.

Instant Vellam Dosai is a healthy and nutritious breakfast recipe that is popular in South India. It is made with a combination of ragi flour and whole wheat flour, along with jaggery, which gives it a sweet taste.

Ragi flour, also known as finger millet flour, is a gluten-free flour that is rich in fiber, protein, and other nutrients. Whole wheat flour is another healthy flour that is high in fiber and complex carbohydrates.

After a couple of days of instant idlis and dosais made with whole grains, I wanted to stick to the idea of using whole grains for my last instant dosai recipe as well.

But this time, I made it a little fun for my family who loves sweets by making this Instant Vellam Dosai made with Ragi flour or finger millet flour and whole wheat flour. All my kids wanted was a glob of butter on the side to eat these dosais.
