Rava dosa

dosaThe dosa is a South Indian crepe. This food, high in carbohydrates and proteins, is a breakfast recipe. Rava dosa doesn’t need fermentation and is usually considered a fast snack/tiffin. You can serve it along with any chutneys or sambar or dosa/idli podi (which is made of chillies and lentils, available in Indian store). It hardly takes half an hour to prepare the dosa batter. Though considered a breakfast dish, dosas are also eaten at other times of day.

Ingredients:

  • Rice flour - 1 cup
  • Semolina (rawai) - 1 cup
  • All purpose flour (maida) - 1/2 cup
  • Butter milk - 1 cup
  • Chopped onion - 1/2 cup (adjust to taste)
  • Green chillies - 2 (finely chopped)
  • Cumin seeds - 1 tbsp
  • Curry leaves - a few (finey chopped)

Method of preparation:

  1. Mix all the flours and add butter milk and water
  2. Mix them well. Use your hand to avoid flaky texture
  3. It should not look like normal dosa batter. It should be so watery that you shouldn’t be able to spread it using a spatula
  4. Now add the onions, green chillies, cumin seeds and curry leaves
  5. Mix them all
  6. Heat the griddle and pour a spatula full of batter over it leaving the centre portion of the griddle and spread it towards centre by holding the handle of the griddle
  7. Turn both the sides and fry
  8. Dosa is ready

  11. Hmmm I love dosas, but actually hate rava dosas! Somehow the shape/holes put me off :)

    Do you have a recipe for raagi dosas/chapaties however? I would love to hear…
