Rava dosa is a popular South Indian dish loved for its crisp texture and quick preparation. Unlike traditional dosas, it doesn’t need fermentation. The batter is thin and light, made with semolina, rice flour, and a few spices. Once cooked on a hot tawa, it turns golden and crunchy. Paired with chutney and sambhar, it makes a filling yet light meal.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare batter

Mix semolina, rice flour, refined flour, crushed cashews, salt, pepper, ginger, green chillies, and coriander in a large bowl. Add 3 cups of water gradually, whisking well until smooth and thin. The batter should be watery, not thick. Let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to settle.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Heat the tawa

Place a non-stick tawa on medium heat. Once hot, sprinkle a few drops of water to test; if they sizzle immediately, it’s ready. Lightly grease the surface with ghee before pouring the batter.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Spread batter thinly

Pour the batter from a little height so it spreads into a thin, lacy pattern on the tawa. Do not spread with a ladle like a regular dosa. Drizzle ghee around the edges and a few drops on top for even crispiness.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Cook till golden

Allow the dosa to cook undisturbed until the edges lift slightly and the base turns golden brown. No need to flip—rava dosa cooks best on one side only. Fold it gently in half or roll it before removing from the tawa.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Repeat and serve

Continue with the remaining batter, stirring it occasionally as semolina tends to settle at the bottom. Serve hot dosas straight from the tawa with chutney and sambhar.
