Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina (Rava)
- 0.5 cup Rice flour
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups Water
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon, crushed Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 5 leaves, chopped Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina, rice flour, and all-purpose flour.
Add water gradually while stirring to prevent lumps, creating a smooth, thin batter.
Mix in the chopped green chili, grated ginger, cumin seeds, crushed black pepper, salt, chopped curry leaves, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped onion. Stir to combine well.
Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or dosa tawa over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil or vegetable oil.
Once hot, pour the batter from a height, in a circular motion, starting from the outer edges towards the center. The batter should spread and form a thin layer; it's normal to have some holes.
Drizzle a little oil around the edges and over the dosa, allowing it to cook without sticking.
Cook until the edges lift easily and the dosa turns golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Carefully lift the dosa using a flat spatula and fold it in half to serve.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as necessary.
Serve the dairy-free rava dosa hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
