Rava Dosa


             Rava dosa is a very popular variant of south Indian dosa. It is an easy, delicious and crisp dosa made with semolina or suji or rava, rice flour and all purpose flour(maida). Rava dosa is very easy to make with very less amount of time and the best part is that no grinding and fermentation is required for it. So this recipe is instant and handy.

               Rava dosa is very crispy and looks like a net. It is a low calorie recipe, so it is considered as a healthy breakfast option. With sambhar and chutney it is served as a complete breakfast. It can be served in dinner and lunch also.

1. Rava or suji -1cup
2. Rice flour-1cup
3. Maida or all pourpose flour-1/2 cup
4. Curd-1/2 cup
5. Salt
6. Onion(chopped)-1

8. Ginger(grated)-1 tbsp
9. Cumin seeds-1/2tsp
10.Curry patta(chopped)-2tsp
11.Coriander leaves(chopped)-1tbsp
12.Oil


METHODS FOR PREPARING RAVA DOSA


STEP-1: Make a thin batter by mixing suji or rava, rice flour and maida with curd, salt and water.Make sure that there are no lumps in it. Keep the batter aside and let it rest for 30 minutes.

STEP-2: Add chopped onion, grated ginger, chopped chili, cumin seeds, chopped curry leaves and chopped coriander leaves and mix well. The batter should be very thin watery consistency.so adjust the consistency of batter by adding water as required.

STEP-3: Take a flat non-stick tawa (griddle) and heat the tawa well. Ensure that the tawa has become hot otherwise the dosa will stick to the tawa. Spread some oil on the hot tawa.

STEP-4: Sprinkle some water on the hot tawa to reduce the temperature of the tawa and pour the spoon full of batter on it. Spread the batter on the tawa and let it cook till the dosa become brown from one side.

STEP-5: Pour 1tsp oil on the dosa and flip it. Let the dosa become brown from other side also.

STEP-6: Fold the dosa and serve hot with sambhar and any chutney. Repeat the steps (from step-3 to step-5) to make other dosas. Do not grease the tawa all the time to make dosa; it requires only for once when we start making dosa.

SOME TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT RAVA DOSA:


1. For rava dosa we should use fine variety of rava.
2. Before making dosa, give 30 minutes soaking time to the batter.
3. For making rava dosa the batter should be very thin watery consistency.
4. While making dosa the tawa has to be hot.
5. Every time before pouring on batter; sprinkle some water on the tawa so that the temperature of the tawa will be suitable for pouring the batter.
6. Sprinkle the batter by using a big spoon or a ladle on the tawa while making dosa; so that it will give a netted effect to the dosa.
7.  As the flours and rava settle down at the bottom of the batter, we should mix it well every time before pouring the batter on the tawa.
8. While making the dosa if the batter looks thick then we can add some more water in it.
