Onion Rava Dosa is a popular South Indian crepe made with semolina (rava), rice flour, and a mix of spices and onions. It is thin, crispy, and doesn't require fermentation, making it a quick and tasty meal option.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semolina (rava)
  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • Salt to taste
  • Water, as needed
  • Oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add semolina, rice flour, and all-purpose flour.
  2. Add chopped onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, black pepper, grated ginger, and salt. Mix everything well.
  3. Slowly add water while mixing to make a thin, runny batter. The batter should be of pourable consistency.
  4. Let the batter rest for 15 to 20 minutes so the semolina absorbs the water.
  5. Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle on medium-high heat. To test, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface; if it sizzles and evaporates quickly, the tawa is ready.
  6. Stir the batter well. Pour a ladleful onto the hot tawa starting from the edges and filling in the center. Do not spread it like regular dosa.
  7. Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook until the edges turn golden and crispy.
  8. Flip and cook for about a minute on the other side.
  9. Remove and serve hot. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Serving Suggestions

Onion Rava Dosa tastes best when served hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar.

Notes

  • Always stir the batter before pouring, as the ingredients tend to settle at the bottom.
  • You can also add a few curry leaves or broken cashews for extra flavor and texture.
  • If the dosa is not coming out crispy, try adding a little more rice flour or thinning the batter slightly with water.
