RAVA DOSA

One of the easiest and delicious recipe, enjoyed by all. Unlike the usual dosa, the dosa batter doesn't need to wait hours together. This is definitely one of my favorites.

Ingredients

serves 2

Rava or sooji - 1 cup

Riceflour - 1/2 cup

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Plain yogurt (preferrably sour) - 1 spoon

Green chillies (finely chopped) - 2

Curry leaves - a few

Ginger - a small piece chopped finely

Oil

How to make it

Mix the rice flour, maida and rava and add water and salt to it. The batter should be watery, almost similar to the consistency of a buttermilk.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the batter and mix thoroughly.

Heat the tawa or pan (the tawa should be very hot) and take one ladleful of batter and spread on the tawa starting from the sides and finishing off in the middle as rava dosa cannot be spreaded like ordinary dosa. It is alsmost like sprinklin the batter on the tawa.

Drizzle 1/2 tsp of oil on the sides. (If preferred, ghee can also be used)

Turn it over when it becomes golden brown or dark crispy brown(I like the color to be really dark and not light) accordingly for a minute.

Serve hot with sambhar or chutney of your taste.

Note

To avoid the batter sticking to the pan and for crispy dosas, rub the pan with a slice of onion.

I would recommend that the batter is mixed and kept at least for half an hour before you start to cook.

The more watery the batter is, the more crispier it will be...

p.s. - excuse the shape of the dosa. My iron pan doesn't have sides to shape the dosa accordingly. :T
