Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Flaxseed meal
• 0.5 cup Yogurt
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Asafoetida
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 6 leaves Curry leaves, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Ghee or oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, flaxseed meal, and salt. Mix well to combine these dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add yogurt and water to the dry ingredient mix. Stir continuously until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be fairly thin, similar to pancake batter.

Step 3

Add the chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, asafoetida, coriander leaves, and curry leaves into the batter. Mix well to incorporate all the spices and herbs evenly.

Step 4

Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period helps the flours absorb water and thickens the batter slightly.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick tava or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, spread a small amount of ghee or oil across the surface.

Step 6

Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the tava, immediately swirling the pan or using the back of the ladle to spread the batter into a thin, even circle. Note that rava dosa batter is thinner than regular dosa batter.

Step 7

Drizzle a few drops of ghee or oil around the edges and cook till it's crispy and the edges begin to lift, approximately 3 minutes.

Step 8

Flip the dosa using a flat spatula and cook the other side for another 2 minute until slightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the dosa from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more ghee or oil as needed.

Step 10

Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar for a complete meal.
