What is Rava Dosa?

So, rava dosa is a savory crepe made with rava (sooji) aka semolina.

This instant version is different than traditional dosa in the sense that it does not need fermentation.

You can make it instantly with only a handful of ingredients.

This instant rava dosa is made with rava (of course), rice flour and some seasonings like curry leaves, ginger, cumin seeds etc.

Making the batter for this dosa is super easy, you only have to mix everything together and then let it rest for 20 minutes and then make the dosa.

The batter is really thin and has to be poured on the hot tawa with a ladle all around. That’s what gives the dosa it’s characteristic “net like pattern”.

While the dosa itself it easy to make, making it crispy does need some tips.

Tips to Make Crispy Rava Dosa

If you are looking to make restaurant style crisp rava dosa then here are the things that you need to follow!

Use a Iron Tawa/Pan to make the dosa: I cannot stress enough how important this is!

Here’s a dosa made exactly with the same better, using exactly the same technique on a non-stick pan. I am not saying this dosa was bad, in fact it tastes great. However, as you can see it wasn’t remotely as crisp as the ones that I made on an iron tawa.

Cook on low heat: the rava dosa needs to be cooked on low heat for it to turn out crisp and nice. It will take time, so please have patience.

First, heat the pan on medium heat. Once it’s nicely heated, lower the heat to low, pour the batter and let the dosa cook until you see it turning golden brown.

This takes anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes on low heat, be patient. Do not try to flip or remove the dosa from the pan until you see it’s nicely browned from the sides and also the center.

Batter should be very thin: the batter for rava dosa is super thin and watery. It’s like buttermilk consistency. You have to pour the thin batter all around the tawa, starting from the edges and then moving towards the center.

Stir the batter every time you make the dosa since rava settles down at the bottom.

Also the batter may becomes thick as you continue to make dosa and you might need to add more water as needed.

For healthier version : Just like this recipe use whole wheat flour instead of maida. But if we use whole wheat also dosa turns crispy only.
