A dosa is a thin pancake or crepe created in India and made from a fermented batter. A dash of salt, rice, black gram is put together to create this savory dish that's been around for centuries. It looks similar to the French delicacy but its main ingredients differ: it contains lentils instead of cheese curds like Quebecois galettes do!
A dosai/dosha (also known as an Indian flatbread) is traditionally eaten for breakfast with chutney and an onion-based pickle called 'achar'. With so many different variations depending on region - Kerala uses coconut milk while Maharashtra adds vegetables such as green peas or potatoes - there can be no one recipe if you want to make your own.
Dosa is a staple food of South Indians. Although it is made from rice flour but to give it a variety and unique taste it is also made of rava hence called rava dosa.The taste of the two is entirely different for each other. Rava dosa is easily digestible as it is made form rava and so it is light on your stomach. It is very easy to make and takes lesser time. Next time when your unexpected guests give a surprise visit to your house, you can offer them rava dosa that could be instantly made and served even over a cup of coffee. Include this recipe in your breakfast and you will have a sumptuous breakfast.
Finely chop the onions and green chilly. Mix and make batter of rava by adding water, salt, onions green chilly and ajwain into it. Neither add so less water that it gets difficult to spread like dosa nor make it too easy flowing. Keep it two minutes.
Now take a non stick tava and put oil in for shallow frying. Spread it evenly on the tava.
Now take the rava batter in a serving spoon or a small steel bowl and spread it on the tava surface. Cook it one side for 2 minutes and see if the color changes to brown turn the dosa and cook it from the other side now.
When it is brown from both the sides, considered it cooked. Serve it hot with coconut chutney, rasam or sambhar.
