There is no grinding required for the batter and to top it all there is absolutely no necessity of batter fermentation at all. There is one challenge here though, pouring the watery batter on the tawa. Unlike other dosas wherein the batter is thick that makes it easy to  spread on tawa, here you cannot do the same. Here you need to splash or sprinkle the batter on hot tawa. One or two dosa can go wrong, can be shapeless, can be thick at places, but don’t be disappointed, as you do more and more dosas you will get a hang of it.

To the batter you can even add grated carrots and lots of finely chopped coriander. I didn’t have them so skipped it, it is however optional.
The proportion of the rava, rice flour and maida used is 1:1:1/2 cup. You can double or halve the quantities as you require.

  1. Thanks for the share. I have tried to make rava dosa a few times, but was not very successful. Now I will use this recipe to try it once again. I thought that yogurt is used in rava dosa. Is nothing added to give slightly sour taste to dosa?

  2. Thanks for the comment Vandana. Yogurt is optional. If you prefer slightly sour taste then you can add half cup of butter milk or diluted curd. Do try and let me know if it worked for you.

    Cheers
