Preparation

1. 1.
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina, rice flour, yogurt, water, milk, smoked salmon, spruce tips, salt, black pepper, and baking soda. Mix well to form a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow fermentation.
2. 2.
   Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat. Drizzle a little vegetable oil and spread it evenly on the pan.
3. 3.
   Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the center of the pan and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
4. 4.
   Flip the dosa using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is cooked and crispy.
5. 5.
   Remove the dosa from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
6. 6.
   Serve the Tlingit-inspired Rava dosa hot with chutney or a side of your choice.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Smoked salmon — Make sure to finely chop the smoked salmon to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the dosa batter.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier version, add finely chopped jalapenos or Tlingit chili peppers to the batter.
• Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile of the dosa.
• Serve the dosa with a side of Tlingit-style pickled vegetables for a tangy and refreshing accompaniment.
• If you prefer a softer dosa, increase the amount of yogurt and reduce the amount of water in the batter.
• Leftover dosas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated in a pan or toaster oven.

Serving advice

Serve the Tlingit-inspired Rava dosa hot with a side of Tlingit-style pickled vegetables and a dollop of yogurt or chutney.

Presentation advice
