Rava dosa

(from Nandini’s recipe box)

Prep time: 60 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Serves 2 people

Categories: Dosa

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semolina/rava
  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 cup maida (all-purpose flour)
  • 1 1/2 tsps cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • coriander leaves – 2 tbsps (optional)
  • curry leaves – few (optional)
  • finely chopped green chillies – 1 or 2
  • salt to taste
  • water – 6 cups (approx)
  • oil as required

Directions

  1. Combine all the above ingredients except oil and let the rava dosa batter sit for half an hour to an hour.

  2. It might thicken after a while as rava absorbs the water. At the time of making dosas add more water such that it is of pouring consistency (like thick buttermilk). Pre-heat an iron tawa on high for a minute. Do the water test (sprinkle few drops of water over the hot tawa such that it sizzles) and reduce heat. Pour a ladle full of dosa batter from the outward base of the tawa in a circular motion (as shown in the picture below). Fill the gap in the middle with dosa batter. Don’t drop batter like a thick lump but pour all over, evenly, filling the gaps. Pour 1-2 tsps of oil like drops along the edge of the dosa and the gaps in the middle.
