6. Sprinkle a tablespoon of onion, green chilly and fresh coriander mixture on top of the dosae.
7. Dribble oil around the dosae.
8. When the dosae looks cooked on top, remove with a spatula on to a serving plate and serve immediately with chutney or sambar.
9. There is no need to cook on the flip side. Raw onions and green chillies accentuate the taste of ragi in any form of dish.
Ragi dosaes taste very good when savoured straight from the tava.
