Rava Dosai

Ingridients:-
1 cup Rice Flour
1/2 cup Rava
1/4 wheat flour
1 tbsp pepper seeds
1 pinch soda
Few curry leaves
4-5 green chillies finely cut
1 medium sized onion finely chopped (Optional)
Salt to taste.
Sour curd (optional)


1. Mix all the ingridients listed above except onions in a deep vessel. Add water around 3 cups and mix well. The consistency should be very thin, like mango juice. The consistency is the key.
2. Leave the batter for 10 - 15 mins
3. Then mix well and add more water if required.
4. Now heat the pan and when it is just hot, take the batter in the laddle and start pouring it from the side of the pan. As you are pouring the batter you will see that lot of holes will come. This is good. Take one more laddle and our the batter till the whole pan is filled with a thin layer of the batter. Be sure you do this step 4 in 10 seconds.
** Add onion at this point if you like.
5. Then increase the heat of the pan. In a minute you will see the dosa coming out of the tava.
6. Slowly flip it over and roast till it is crispy
7. Now fold the dosa to make a triangle.
8. Serve this dosa hot straight from the pan with pure coconut chutney.

Tip: If the dosa is breaking and you are not able to turn it, make sure you add a little more wheat flour. Consistency of the batter is like sambar.

Hi Vij
I tried this out, the taste came out very well. The only problem was the dosa coming out of the tava. I did some trial and error with the batter consistency and the tava heat and later the dosas started coming out.
