Rava Dosa Recipe

Rava Dosa is a popular South Indian dish known for its crispy texture and quick preparation. Unlike traditional dosa, which requires fermentation, Rava Dosa is made instantly with a simple batter of semolina (rava), rice flour, and all-purpose flour. It’s a perfect breakfast or snack option that pairs well with coconut chutney and sambar.

Ingredients:

1 cup semolina (rava)
½ cup rice flour

¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
1 green chili, finely chopped

½ teaspoon black pepper, crushed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coriander leaves, chopped

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
2½ cups water
1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 teaspoon curd (optional, for slight tanginess)
1 teaspoon oil or ghee
Oil or ghee for cooking

Instructions:

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina, rice flour, and all-purpose flour. Add cumin seeds, chopped green chili, black pepper, onion, coriander leaves, salt, ginger, and curd.
Gradually add water and mix well to form a thin, watery batter. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick or cast-iron pan on medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with oil or ghee.

Pour the Batter: Stir the batter well and pour a ladleful in a circular motion from the outer edges toward the center. Do not spread it like regular dosa; let the gaps remain for a lacy texture.
Cook Until Crispy: Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges and cook until the dosa turns golden and crispy (about 2-3 minutes). Flip if needed and cook for another minute.
Serve Hot: Remove from the pan and serve immediately with coconut chutney and sambar.
