Instructions
Getting Started
Crush 1/2 tsp jeera and 1 green chilli to a coarse paste. The green chilli is entirely optional.
Make the Batter
To a large bowl, add 1/4 cup rava (semolina), 1/4 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup dahi (yogurt, sour preferable), the green chilli-cumin paste, 1 tsp Amchur (dried mango powder), and 1/4 tsp salt.
Mix well.
Gradually add 1/2 cup water and mix well.
Set the batter aside for 30 minutes. This is to let the rava to soften, else you will have a grainy dosa.
After 30 minutes, you will find that the batter has thickened because the rava has absorbed water.
Gradually add a little less than 1/2 cup water and mix well. The batter should be of a freely flowing consistency.
Making the Rava Dosa
Grease the surface of a 10" non-stick tava (pan) well with 1/4 tsp oil.
Heat the pan till it is hot. If you put a drop of water on it, it should sizzle and evapourate.
Using a cup, pour 1/4 cup batter such that it covers the entire surface. Do not try to spread the batter.
Reduce the heat to medium.
Let the dosa cook till the edges start to brown.
Using a spatula loosen the dosa from the surface of the tava. Loosen the edges and gradually move to the centre.
Flip the dosa over and let it cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
Repeat the process to make the other dosas.
Serve this Kidney-Friendly Rava Dosa by itself or with Cranberry Chutney.
