The pan or tawa used plays a major role in preparing proper crispy rava dosa. I have a thick, well seasoned cast Iron pan, which we use for neer dosa (neer dose), spicy neer dosa and instant ragi dosa. If you do not have cast iron pan, don't worry go ahead with non-stick pan.

Preparation time: 30 min
Cooking time: 10 min
Serves: 3
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup rava or semolina or sooji
- 1/8 cup maida or all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp besan or gram flour or kadlehittu (optional)
- 2 onion finely chopped
- 2.5 cup water (more or less depending on the dosa pan quality)
- 10 tsp Oil or ghee (used while making dosa)
- Salt to taste
Optional ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 5 - 6 black pepper slightly crushed
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp finely chopped ginger
- 1 tsp finely chopped coriander leaves
- 1 tsp finely chopped curry leaves
- 1 green chili finely chopped
- A pinch of asafoetida
- 2 tsp grated coconut
Instructions for making rava onion dosa or rava onion dose:
- Take rice flour, rava, maida and gram flour in a container.
- Give a quick mix. Mixing flours before adding the water avoids lumps.
- Add in required water and make a thin batter.
- Add in salt.
- Add in optional ingredients. I have added pepper, cumin seeds, ginger, coriander leaves, green chili and curry leaves from optional ingredients list.
- Also I have added a pinch of asafoetida. Keep it aside.
- Next heat a frying pan. Add in 2 tsp of oil and finely chopped onion. Roast the onion until soft and translucent. Wait until roasted onions are warm.
- Add in the roasted onions into the batter. Mix well and adjust the consistency. It shall have thin watery consistency.
- Now take the cast iron pan (well seasoned) or non-stick pan. Keep the stove at high flame and wait until the pan becomes sizzling hot. To check whether it has reached the proper heat, sprinkle little water on the pan and the water shall sizzle and evaporate. Smear oil if it is an iron pan.
- Before making each rava dosa, stir the batter very well with the ladle. To make rava dosa you have to pour the dosa batter on the hot pan and it will spread on its own like how we prepare neer dosa.
- No need to close the lid. After 5 seconds drizzle 1 or 2 tsp of oil or ghee. Reduce the flame and allow it to cook on low flame for few seconds.
- Fold the dosa on the pan itself. Take it out and serve it with coconut chutney or sagu or sambar. If your dosa pan is not seasoned well and dosa is sticking to the pan, then add little rava to the batter, mix it well and continue.
