Main Equipment Used

Steps In Making

  1. In a large bowl add rice flour, refined flour, semolina, cumin seeds, green chillies, ginger, crushed black peppercorns, curry leaves, fresh coriander, salt and around 2 cups of water. Mix well to avoid any lumps. Now add the rest of the water too. Please note rawa dosa batter will have a thin consistency.
  2. Now let the batter rest for 25-30 minutes.
  3. To prepare the rawa dosa, heat a non-stick tawa or a dosa tawa and add some oil or ghee to it.
  4. Now pour two ladles of the rawa dosa batter on the tawa making sure it has spread evenly.
  5. Let it cook on low to medium heat for 3-4 minutes. It will get a nice golden brown colour and a crispy texture.
  6. Serve immediately with the delicious onion tomato chutney.

Recipe Notes

  • Make sure to add enough water, if the batter is thick the dosas will not become crispy.
  • Do not cook on high heat, else it won’t cook properly.
