Instant Rawa Dosa / Onion Rawa Dosa

 If you crave for dosa and do not have time for fermentation, this is the one for you.
Here's what you gonna need for making instant rawa dosa.


Ingredients:

  • Sooji ( Semolina ) - 1 cup
  • Rice Flour - 1 cup
  • All Purpose Flour ( Maida ) - 1/2 cup
  • Grated Ginger - 1 tsp
  • Hing - 1/8 tsp
  • Chopped Green Chillies - to taste
  • Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Water - around 7 cups
  • Oil - for drizzling

Directions

  • In a large mixing bowl mix all the ingredients ( except oil ) . 
  • Add water as needed without forming any lumps. The consistency of the batter should be more runny,like buttermilk. It is usually thinner than the normal dosa batter.
  • Let the batter sit for about 15 minutes.
  • Heat the griddle or tawa on high heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the the tawa, the droplets should sizzle and dry up. Now reduce the heat to medium.
  • Pour a laddle full of dosa batter on the hot tawa. You will not be able to pour the batter in the center and rotate outwards just like the other dosa. You can pour it into a circle and then try to fill in the circle with some more batter. It will look netted.
  • Alternatively, instead of using a laddle, you can sprinkle the batter using your hand. Take handfuls of batter and sprinkle all over the pan gently, filling all the gaps.
  • Drizzle very little oil all over the dosa. Let it cook for till the bottom part is brown and crispy.
  • Flip the dosa and cook for just half a minute. 
  • Fold the dosa into  half and remove it on a plate.
  • Clean the pan with a wet paper towel after each dosa.
  • Serve with any chutney or pickle.


Variation:


  • The other form of this plain rawa dosa is onion rawa dosa. 
  • For that, add finely chopped onions to the batter and then make the dosa in the similar way as mentioned above.
  • You can also add chopped curry leaves to the batter.
