Ingredients

• 1 cup Rava (semolina)
• 1 cup Rice flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Curd (yogurt)
• 2.5 cups Water
• 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, crushed
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 4 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rava (semolina), rice flour, and all-purpose flour. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the curd (yogurt) to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Gradually add water, stirring continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter with a consistency similar to thin buttermilk. Adjust the quantity of water if necessary.

Step 3

Once the batter is smooth, add the finely chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, crushed black pepper, salt, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well to integrate all the ingredients.

Step 4

Set the batter aside for 15 minutes to allow the rava to absorb some moisture and thicken slightly.

Step 5

After resting, check the consistency of the batter. It should be thin; add a little more water if it's too thick.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick tawa or flat griddle on medium heat. Once hot, drizzle a little oil to grease the surface.

Step 7

Stir the batter well and take a ladle full of batter, pour it from the edges of the tawa moving concentrically towards the center. The dosa should have a lace-like appearance with small holes.

Step 8

Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the edges and on top of the dosa.

Step 9

Cook the dosa on medium heat until the edges start to lift and the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another minute.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked dosa to a plate, and repeat the process with the remaining batter, stirring the batter each time before making the next dosa.

Step 11

Serve the soy-free rava dosa hot with your choice of coconut chutney and sambar.
