Rava Dosas

Rava Dosas

"Rava means semolina in Hindi. There are thin, crispy and savoury pancakes served for breakfast or as a meal. It originates from the South pf India and is a popular street snack available all over Mumbai".

Ingredients

Dosa batter
1 cup fine semolina
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup rice flour
1 tbsp ginger finely chopped or grated
1 tsp cumin seeds
t tbsp green chilie finely chopped
salt to taste
1/4 cup yogurt

1 large red onion, finely chopped
a handful of coriander leaves finely chopped.


Directions

Mix the finely chopped onion and coriander leaves in a bowl and keep aside. In a large bowl mix all the above ingredients for the dosa batter. Add a cup of water and mix. Add another cup of water and mix well Set aside for 15-20 minutes. Add 2 cups of water to the batter. The consistency of the batter should be very thin/watery. Place a flat non-stick pan on medium heat. Spread oil evenly using half of an onion or a silicon brush. You can also use a cooking spray. Spread about a tablespoon of finely chopped onion and coriander leaves. Pour a ladle full of the semolina batter all over. You will see there are little holes in the dosa, which is what we want. Drizzle a little oil over the dosa and cook till the bottom is slightly crisp. Fold the dosa in half or quarter and remove on to a serving plate. Repeat the process till you've used all the onion-coriander mixture and the dosa batter. Serve hot with coconut chutney. See my recipe for coconut chutney here.
