Ravva Dosa

My mother-in-law prepares dosas very well they just melt in your mouth.
I love dosas prepare by her.

Serves : 2
Preparation time : 30 mins + 5 mins

Ingredients:

Rice flour : 1/4 cup (3 tbsp)
Sooji : 1/4 cup (3 tbsp)
Maida : 1 1/2 tbsp
(Actually it is rice flour : sooji : maida = 1 : 1 : 1/2 )
green chilli's : 2
Ginger : 2" piece
Cumin seeds : 1/2 tsp
onion : 1 finely Chopped
salt to taste
water : 2 1/2 cups

Method :

mix rice flour, sooji, maida with water.
Add salt,chopped ginger,chopped green chilli's and cumin seeds to it.
Let it sit for a minimum of 30 mins.
(if you make dosas right after mixing, then they are not that crisp)
Make dosas , put some oil, wait for 2 mins (edges will raise up by themselves)
Sprinkle chopped onion on top ( This is called as vulli ravva in hotels).
Turn around wait for 1 min,turn it around again wait for one more min.

For a dosa to be crisp and nice three things matters ( tawa , batter consistency, soaking)
The tawa should not too hot and cool, heat should be moderate and tawa should be hot.
By experience you will know the batter consistency.
While pouring batter on tawa you can do two things
one is make a round on edge and fill the remaining gap.
two - just sprinkle the batter on tawa, cover entire tawa to form a nice dosa.


Serve it with besan chutney or coconut chutney.
