Rava Dosa

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

Method:

• 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 tawa on high for a minute and reduce heat. Pour a ladle full of dosa batter from the outward base of the tawa in a circular motion .
•  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.
• Increase heat to medium flame and let the dosa cook for around 3 mts. At this point increase flame to high and let the dosa roast for a half a minute or so.
• If you want a slightly softer dosa, remove the dosa at this point. For a crisper dosa, let the dosa roast further on high for another one minute or till it reaches a nice golden brown .
• Serve hot with chutney or sambar or potato bhaji.
