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