    How to make Rava dosa batter:

    • Take a large mixing bowl and add 1 cup rava, 1cup rice flour, 1/4 cup maida(all-purpose flour), salt. Add curd orbuttermilk and mix everything.
    • Add ginger, onions, green chillies, curry leaves, coriander leaves, pepper corns and cumin seeds.
    • Mix everything with water and make the batter very thin. Make sure no lumps are formed. The consistency should be like neer dosa. Keep aside for 20-30 mins.

    How to make crispy rava roast:

    • Heat dosa tawa. Check the correct heat by sprinkling water and if water sizzles the tawa is hot enough. If using iron tawa apply a tsp of oil. For non-stick pan spreading oil is not necessary. For each dosa, mix the batter well from the bottom because water tends to come up leaving the heavy batter at the bottom.
    • After 30mins of rest time, the rava enlarges and the batter may become thick. Add more water to make it thin and watery batter.
    • Pour the watery batter from the edges towards the center in a circular motion. I forgot to click, pardon me next time I will include the picture. Be careful not to pour the batter double time anywhere in tawa. It is okay to have holes but double pouring will not yield crisp dosas.
    • Look at the holes forming instantly once you poured the batter in hot tawa. Add a teaspoon of oil for roasting around the corners and in middle of the dosa.
    • Keep the flame in medium-high and wait for the bottom side to roast nicely. It may take4to 5 mins for each dosa. Check the corner by lifting, if it is golden brown and crispy, dosa is ready. No need to flip and cook other side.
    • Serve Rava roast super hot with sambar and chutneys.

    Notes

    Tips:
    • Make sure the batter is very thin, add extra water required.
    • This rava dosa can be prepared without curd/buttermilk too.
    • Onion, green chillies and ginger should be finely chopped. You can skip onions for plain rava roast.
    • Tawa should be well seasoned or non-stick.
