Onion Rava Dosa
Onion Rava Dosa is a popular variety of South Indian dosa with semolina (rava) as the key ingredient in addition to rice flour and all-purpose flour.

Instructions
- In a big mixing bowl add semolina, rice flour and maida. Mix them well.
- Add grated ginger, chopped coriander, chopped green chilies, chopped curry leaves, cumin seeds, yogurt, asafoetida and salt as per taste.
- Add five cups of water. Mix well so that no lumps are formed.
- The batter should be thin and should have buttermilk like consistency. Add more water if required. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick flat pan. Apply oil over it.
- Wipe the pan with a kitchen towel or napkin. (I alternatively wipe pan with oil and water mixture- 1tsp oil in a bowl of water, soak the kitchen towel into the mixture, squeeze it well and then wipe the pan. This way it helps to grease the pan and brings down the heat of the pan).
- Mix the batter well and start pouring it from the edge of the pan with a help of a flat spoon. Start pouring the batter from the edge and then come in between. Keep on stirring the batter in between. (The batter is very thin and hence the flour will settle down at the bottom. Hence keep on stirring to get the even batter while pouring on a pan)
- Pour the batter in the big gaps and fill it.
- Apply 2 tsp ghee (you can also use oil) on sides and middle of the dosa. Let the dosa cook on medium heat. It will take about 7-8 minutes to cook it on one side.
- Start lifting the dosa from edges with a flat spatula.
- Flip the dosa and let it cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the dosa again and start folding from both the edge as shown.
- Fold the dosa this way and press it.
- Flip the dosa and the Rava Sada Dosa is ready to serve. Serve this crispy dosa hot with chutney and sambhar.
- For making onion rava dosa, wipe the heated pan and sprinkle chopped onions over it. The aroma released from the onion is tempting.
- Now stir the batter and start pouring it from edges with a flat spoon as done earlier. Start pouring the batter from the edge and then come in between. Keep on stirring the batter in between. (The batter is very thin and hence the flour will settle down at the bottom. Hence keep on stirring to get the even batter while pouring on a pan). Fill the gaps with the batter as done for the rava sada dosa.
- Apply 2 tsp ghee (you can also use oil) on sides and middle of the dosa. Let the dosa cook on medium heat. It will take about 7-8 minutes to cook it on one side.
