Ingredients

  • ¼ Cup maida/all purpose flour
  • ¾ Tsp or salt to taste
  • ¼ Tsp jeera
  • 1 heaped Tsp sugar
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 2 finely chopped spring onions (optional)
  • 1 finely chopped green chilli
  • 5-6 finely chopped curry leaves
  • 1" piece ginger grated
  • 1½ Cups + ½ Cup water
  • 1 Tbsp yogurt
For Tadka:
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • ½ Tsp mustard
  • ¼ Tsp jeera
  • A pinch of hing/asafoetida

  9. Pour in this tadka and fold well again
  10. Finally add ½ Cup water and thin the batter even more. Set batter aside for 30 minutes or so
  11. Heat a tawa. Pour a big ladleful and spread lightly but because the batter is watery it spreads on its own pretty much
  12. Cover and cook. Once it turns crisp and golden flip and cook again
  13. Serve with butter and chutney pudi or any chutney
Notes
Use unroasted upma rava. Don't use chiroti rava or semolina

As mentioned earlier, make sure batter is watery. If necessary, add more water and thin batter in between making dosas as water tends to get absorbed

Adjust green chilli as per your taste or skip it entirely if making for children

You can skip onions and just make plain rava dosa

Adding a little sugar makes dosas crisp and golden

Do not add a lot of yogurt, dosas tend to stick to the tawa

This recipe can be doubled, adjust salt and green chilli accordingly
