Rava Dosa Recipe

Here is how you can easily prepare rava dosa at home using the right proportion and ingredients for a flavourful and healthy South Indian meal.

Ingredients

• Rava (semolina / sooji) – 1 cup
• Rice Flour – ½ cup
• All-Purpose Flour – ¼ cup
• Curd – 2 tbsp
• Green Chillies – 1-2, finely chopped
• Ginger – 1 tsp, grated
• Black Peppercorns – ½ tsp
• Cumin Seeds – 1 tsp
• Chopped Coriander – 2 tbsp
• Chopped Curry Leaves – 1 tbsp
• Onion – 1 small, finely chopped
• Salt – to taste
• Water – 3½ to 4 cups
• Oil or Ghee – for cooking

Steps to prepare:

1. Take a large bowl and add rava, rice flour, and maida along with some curd and mix well.
2. Now add vegetables like onion, cumin seeds, green chillies, ginger, garlic, coriander, curry leaves, and crushed pepper along with salt.
3. Pour in 3½ to 4 cups of water slowly while stirring to avoid lumps.
4. Make the batter very thin to pour for rava dosa.
5. Use a non-stick tawa and sprinkle some water over it.
6. Do not pour the batter in the centre like a regular dosa. Instead, splash it from the outer edge to the centre using a ladle.
7. Once the batter settles, drizzle oil or ghee around the edges and centre.
8. Let it cook for 3 minutes on one side, and then turn golden brown.
9. Put it down on the tawa and fold it.
10. To maintain the crisp texture, cool the tawa slightly before pouring the next dosa. Stir the batter each time.

Rava dosa is a brilliant combination of ease and taste — no grinding, no fermentation, and yet irresistibly delicious. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner, this dosa can be made instantly with pantry staples.
