Nachni is also known as Ragi. It is actually the red millet found and used in cooking mostly in Maharashtra and Southern States in India. It is very well known in African culture also, as they also use red millet in cooking. These dosas are very easy and health wise rich in calcium due to use of Nachni..You make stuffing from any choice of vegetables , but we use sprouts for this particular recipe. —Devangi Raval
