  • Tip in 1 tbsp of curd.
  • Pour water and mix all the ingredients well till you get a thin, watery batter without lumps.
  • Leave the Rava Dosa batter aside for 20 minutes. The batter will thicken, so add more water to get a pouring consistency.
  • Then heat a non-stick tava.
  • Mix the batter and using a round spoon pour the batter onto the tava. It will look porous.
  • Let the dosa cook for 1-2 minutes and then drizzle oil on the edges and on top of the dosa.
  • Once the base of the dosa turns a golden brown, flip it over.
  • Let it cook for about thirty seconds.

Notes

  • Always mix the batter before making each rava dosa
  • The batter should be runny
  • For making the batter, you can substitute water with buttermilk
