Treat your ingredients with care...
- Semolina — Make sure to use fine semolina for a smoother texture in the dosa batter.
- Rice flour — Use store-bought rice flour or grind raw rice to a fine powder for best results.
- Yogurt — If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the yogurt with plant-based yogurt or simply omit it and adjust the water quantity accordingly.
Tips & Tricks
- For a crispier dosa, make sure the skillet is adequately hot before pouring the batter.
- Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding more water if needed. It should be thin enough to spread easily but not too watery.
- To enhance the flavor, you can add finely chopped curry leaves or grated coconut to the batter.
- Serve the dosa immediately after cooking to retain its crispiness.
- If you prefer a spicier dosa, increase the quantity of green chilies or add red chili powder to the batter.
Serving advice
Serve the Crispy Rava Dosa hot with coconut chutney, sambar, and a side of tomato or mint chutney. It pairs well with a hot cup of filter coffee or masala chai.
Presentation advice
To present the dosa attractively, fold it into a triangle or roll it up like a crepe. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped coriander leaves for a pop of color.
