Rawa Dosa

I love Rawa Dosa, but the closest I've come to making it at home is to use MTR's Instant Rawa Dosa Mix. Credits for this recipe also go to Deepsy's mum.

Made by Deepsy's mum, held by Deepsy, and eaten by yours truly!

You need -

1 portion maida (flour) or wheat

2 portions rice powder (arsi powder)

3 portions rava

Some coriander

Some jeera/cumin seeds

Some curry leaves

2 chillies

Chopped Onions (optional)

What you have to do -

- Mix all the above ingredients with water to get a loose consistency

- Set aside for 5 minutes

- Heat the pan with a little oil, and pour the batter out (the batter shouldn't be spread in sweeping circular motions like a regular dosa - it should be poured out in a circle while maintaining minimal thickness)

- Sprinkle some oil all over and around the corners - the dosa will come out with a lot of little holes (it's very natural)

- Serve with curd/chutney/sambar

A variation -

Instead of mixing the batter in water, mix with would sour butter milk. This gives it a completely different taste. Once you mix the batter, leave it aside for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Serve with -

- Tomato or coconut chutney

- Pickle

- Curd

- And a cup of strong hot coffee!
