Ravva Dosa

Ingredients:

1 cup sooji( Bombay ravva, Bombai Ravva )

1 cup rice flour

1/2 cup all purpose flour( maida )

1/2 - 1 cup sour buttermilk

2 tsp cumin seeds

5 green chillies

1 inch ginger

1/4 cup oil

10 curry leaves

3 stalks of coriander ( cilantro )

salt to taste

How to:

Sieve sooji, rice flour, maida and salt keep aside

Chop green chillies, ginger and coriander very finely

Mix the sieved flours, cumin seeds, ginger, chillies, curry leaves, coriander and buttermilk

Keep it aside for 30 min( optional, if done would give best results )

Add water and the batter should be relatively thin

Heat griddle or tawa.

You should make sure griddle is SIZZLING HOT!!

Pour add 1 laddle full of batter rapidly from center to outward edge of the griddle in a circular motion. You should not spread the batter like you do for plain dosa.

Don't panic to fill in all the holes. Those holes are a sign of perfect rava dosa

Dot the edges of the dosa with a little oil and fry till golden brown.

Flip and brown on the other side

Before making each dosa make sure you stir the batter and pour otherwise all the rava (sooji ) would sink to the bottom. This is very important.

If you still find that dosas arent crispy enough you can add tbsp of rice flour and try again.
