Rava dosa is an instant dosa made with rava (suji), rice flour, and all-purpose flour. The batter needs no grinding or fermentation and makes thin, crispy dosas perfect for breakfast or snacks.

🧂 Ingredients

  • ½ cup fine rava (unroasted suji / semolina)

  • ½ cup rice flour

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (maida)

Flavoring:

  • ½ to 1 tsp green chillies, finely chopped

  • ⅓ cup onion, finely chopped

  • ½ tsp ginger, finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp curry leaves, chopped

  • 1–2 tbsp coriander leaves (optional)

  • ½ tsp black pepper, crushed

  • ½ tsp cumin seeds

Liquids & seasoning:

  • 2.25 to 2.5 cups water (adjust as needed)

  • Salt to taste

  • Oil or ghee or butter for cooking

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the batter

  • In a bowl, add rava, rice flour, and maida.

  • Add onions, green chillies, ginger, curry leaves, coriander leaves, black pepper, cumin seeds, and salt.

  • Add water (start with 2.25 cups).

  • Whisk to a smooth, lump-free batter.

  • Batter must be thin and flowing (like buttermilk).

  • Cover and rest for 20–30 minutes.

After resting, flours will settle at the bottom — this is normal.

2. Make rava dosa

  • Mix the batter very well before making each dosa.

  • Heat a tawa (pan) and lightly grease with oil. It must be hot.

  • Pour batter from the edges towards the center using a ladle (from a little height).

  • Fill any gaps lightly with batter.

  • Cook on medium to medium-low heat until the top looks cooked.

  • Drizzle ½–1 tsp oil around edges and on top.

  • Cook until the base turns golden and crisp and edges lift up.

  • Flip and cook the second side for 30–60 seconds.

  • Fold and serve hot.

🍽️ Serve With

  • Coconut chutney

  • Sambar

  • Dosa podi

  • Peanut chutney / tomato chutney / onion chutney / ginger chutney

📝 Notes & Tips

  • Resting batter: Always rest 20–30 minutes.

  • Batter consistency:

    • Thin = crisp dosa

    • Medium = soft dosa

  • Pan temperature: Tawa must be hot; batter should sizzle when poured.

  • Pouring style: Pour from edges first, then center for netted effect.

  • Mix every time: Batter settles at the bottom, so stir before each dosa.

  • If batter thickens: Add little water and mix.

  • Pan type: Use a heavy-bottom or cast iron tawa to prevent sticking.

  • Storage: Batter keeps for a few hours in the refrigerator only.
