Making of Rava Dosa

The main ingredients required for Rava Dosa comprise rice flour, rava, maida (all-purpose flour), cumin seeds, salt, onions, coriander, water, and oil/ghee to cook dosa. All these ingredients are combined in a bowl except for oil and a thick batter is prepared to let it rest for 20 minutes. Then more water is added to give it a thin buttermilk like consistency and salt and herbs are added according to taste.

The batter is then poured over a griddle which is in low heat with a ladle in a way that it covers the entire circumference of the utensil and form a netted pattern. Once the dosa starts to turn brown it is then taken out to accompany sambar or any kind of coconut or tomato chutney.
