Rava dosa

Rava dosa is an instant dosa which comes handy when you run out of dosa batter. Easy and quick. Goes with any chutney of your choice.
Ingredients
  • Rava/ Semolina - 1 small cup
  • Maida/ all purpose flour - 1/2 cup
  • Rice Flour - 1/2 cup 
  • Butter milk - 1 and half glass (optional)
  • Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Coriander leaves - 4 stems
  • Chillies - 2
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon or as per taste
  • Oil - 4 - 5 teaspoons (to make dosa)
Preparation
  1. Take all the flours into a container mix it well and pour the buttermilk or water (whichever you have decided to use) to make a thin batter. The batter must have the consistency of buttermilk. Watery.
  2. Now add cumin seeds, finely chopped chillies and coriander leaves, salt into the batter, mix well and let it soak for half an hour.


Take a Dosa pan, heat it until it is good enough to pour the batter. Sprinkle oil, take a ladle full of the thin batter and pour it on the pan. Do not try to spread a lot. Since the batter is thin, it may tear in the process. 
After a minute when the dosa leaves the pan a little, turn it to the other side, you will notice crispy holes in the dosa. Let it cook for a minute.  Pour oil on the outer only if necessary. It is purely optional. 
You can touch the surface of the dosa to check if it is done. If it is not sticky, dosa is ready. Serve with chutney of your choice.
