What to know about Indira's Ragi Dosa Mix
A ragi-led dosa mix with the salt built in
Indira's Ragi Dosa Mix is a 500 g pack of dry flour mix for dosas: ragi (finger millet) 53%, black gram dal, whole wheat flour (atta), rice, salt and spices. It is bought by people who want a dosa that is quicker than a fermented batter and made on a millet base rather than a rice base. It contains wheat.
The pack prints values for one 20 g dosa, and the pack makes about 25 of them. One dosa has 67 kcal, 2.4 g protein, 0.7 g fibre and 198 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 335 kcal, 12 g protein, 3.5 g fibre, no added sugar and no fat, with 5 mg iron and 234 mg calcium. The cost is salt: 990 mg sodium per 100 g.
The name and front say ragi, and ragi is the largest ingredient at 53%. The front also says No Preservatives, and the list shows no additive at all. The shares of black gram, wheat and rice are not declared. CleanPlate scores it AA3.
Why Indira's Ragi Dosa Mix scores AA3
Nutrition is an A on 12 g protein, 3.5 g fibre and useful calcium and iron per 100 g. Ingredients are an A for a short, additive-free list. Risk is a 3, almost all from 990 mg sodium per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why A
Protein is 12 g per 100 g, with black gram dal the largest contributor, and fibre is 3.5 g. The grade also gets a strong lift from minerals: 5 mg iron, 234 mg calcium and 486 mg potassium per 100 g, from the ragi.
There is no fat, no saturated fat and no added sugar, so nothing pulls the grade down. Energy is 335 kcal per 100 g, which is normal for a dry flour mix.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

No claim on the pack is contradicted by the list, so there is no label penalty. The only small gap is that the shares of the other grains are not given.

03 Load risk: why 3
Sodium is the whole story: 990 mg per 100 g, 198 mg in one 20 g dosa. It accounts for almost all of the risk number, which lands on a 3.
Added sugar, saturated fat and trans fat are all 0 g, and energy adds very little to the risk.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
