- Why is the dosa sticking?
- The pan wasn't hot enough or wasn't 'seasoned' (oiled). Use cast iron or good quality non-stick.
- It turned out too thick. What did I do wrong?
- The batter needs to be as thin as water, not thick like pancake batter.

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the ragi flour, rice flour, and salt. Add the water and whisk until lump-free. The batter must be very thin, almost watery!
Let the batter rest for 30 minutes. During this time, the flours absorb moisture, and the water may 'separate' on top - this is normal, stir before cooking.
Prepare the tempering: crackle the mustard seeds in hot oil, add the curry leaves, chilli, and crushed garlic. Mix this into the batter.
Heat the frying pan until smoking hot. Grease thinly with oil. Pour (do not spread!) the thin batter into the pan in a circular motion, working from the outside in. Let the holes form naturally.
Drizzle the edges with a few drops of oil. Cook patiently over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, and it lifts from the pan.
Flip it over, cook the other side for 1 minute, then fold in half and serve immediately.
