Crisp, lacy dosa made with Agrim Suji (rava) 

INGREDIENTS

  • Agrim Suji (rava) — 1 cup
  • Rice flour — ½ cup
  • All-purpose flour (maida) — ¼ cup (optional but helps binding)
  • Yogurt — ¼ cup (or skip and use water only)
  • Water — 3 to 3½ cups (thin batter is key)
  • Salt — 1 tsp (to taste)
  • Cumin seeds — 1 tsp
  • Green chilies — 1–2 (finely chopped)
  • Ginger — 1 tsp (grated)
  • Curry leaves — 8–10 (optional but 🔥)
  • Onion — 1 small (finely chopped, optional)
  • Oil/ghee — for dosa

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Make Thin Batter
  • In a bowl mix suji + rice flour + maida + salt.
  • Add yogurt (if using), then add water slowly to make a very thin, watery batter.
  • Add cumin, ginger, chilies, curry leaves, onion.
  • Rest 15–20 minutes.
Step 2: Heat Pan
  • Use a non-stick or well-seasoned tawa. Heat on medium-high.
  • Lightly oil the surface.
Step 3: Pour (Don’t Spread)
  • Stir batter every time (suji settles fast).
  • Pour batter from the outer edge moving inward in a circular way (like drizzle).
  • Do not spread with ladle—rava dosa needs holes.
Step 4: Crisp Up
  • Drizzle oil around edges.
  • Cook until golden and crisp. Flip only if needed (usually not required).

FINAL RESULT

Thin, crispy, lacy rava dosa with crunchy edges—perfect with coconut chutney or aloo tarkari.

Tips & Variations

  • Batter must be thin. If dosa is thick, add more water.
  • Stir before each dosa or you’ll pour only water at the end (sad).
  • Add crushed black pepper for a South-Indian kick.
