Had been a long time since i posted anything in my cookery blog. As usual busy with daily routine and my other blogs. ried this rava dosa first time , and it came out to be a complete disaster. I got the batter perfectly done, but i couldnt get the shape of dosa. took some time to figure out wat was going wrong. And then i called my mom , she gave me these tips to get dosas on shape. So here i am, to share the tips with you all.Rava dosa is very easy to prepare & within short time.
Dosa Batter:
Rava/Semolina - 1 cup
Rice flour - 1 cup
Maida/All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
salt - accordingly
Pepper corns - accordingly
Green chillies - 3
Curry leaves - 1/2 hand full
Jeera/Cumin - 1 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp
Water - accordingly
Preparation :
The main thing to keep in mind while preparing the batter is to keep the consistency of the batter thin as a butter milk. So add the water to all the mixture above and get the batter ready and set it aside for 10 mins.
Now to make Dosas:
Now Keep the pan with almost more than a medium flame on the stove top. but make sure its not at the high flame. Since the batter is too thin we cannot pour it like a regular dosa as we will not get the desired shape. Therefore , to make onion rava dosa, first sprinkle on the stove and then sprinkle the bater with your hand and that forms a thin layer of dosa with its unique feature of forming holes . Now apply oil/ghee to make it wasy for us to flip.
Keep in mind that even though the flame is set to almost high, the rava-dosa does not gets cooked so fast. Also it does not get the brown color. So you may not worry that it would get burned at high flame. So leave it for a while until the sides of the dosa seem to get browned so that it can be flipped.
Thats the trick. Dosa is done. And can be served with any kind of chutney , but prefferebly mint or corriander leaf chutney , or coconut chutney , or sambar.
I miss-placed my digital-camera somewhere within our house :-)) will post the pictures once i find it. Till then try it out and have fun.
