Rava Dosa Recipe - Crispy Indian Semolina Crepes

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup Rava (semolina)
  • 1 cup Rice flour
  • 1 cup Water (Adjust for batter consistency)
  • 1 cup Yogurt (Optional for tanginess)
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Chopped green chilies (Adjust for spice level)
  • 2 tbsp Chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 tbsp Oil (For cooking)
  • 1 cup Onion (finely chopped) (Optional for added flavor)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine rava, rice flour, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix well.

    Ensure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients.
  2. Add Water

    Gradually add water and mix to form a thin batter. If using, add yogurt and mix until smooth.

    The batter should be of pouring consistency.
  3. Incorporate Flavors

    Stir in green chilies, coriander leaves, and chopped onions if using. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes.

    Resting helps the semolina absorb water.
  4. Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Drizzle a little oil to coat the surface.

    Ensure the pan is hot enough before pouring the batter.
  5. Cook the Dosa

    Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet, spreading it in a circular motion. Drizzle oil around the edges.

    Cook until the edges turn golden brown and the surface is cooked.
  6. Flip and Serve

    Once cooked, flip the dosa and cook for an additional minute. Serve hot with chutney or sambar.

    Enjoy your rava dosa crispy and fresh!
