Instant Rava Dosa

This is my favourite amongst all the varieties of Dosas.It can be prepared in minutes unlike the regular dosa where you need to Soak......Grind.......Ferment........and then ........cook!
It's got a great textute and crisp on the outside and soft inside.
I has tried this recipe earlier but never used to get the porous texture required.Over the time I developed my own way to do it and now they look fabulous.

Ingredients for the batter:
  • Semolina(soji)-1cup
  • Rice flour-1cup
  • All purpose flour(maida)-1cup
  • Cumin seeds(jeera)-1tsp
  • Chopped green chillies-1tbsp(can be reduced if served to kids)
  • Chopped corriander-2tbsp
  • Salt-to taste
  • Chopped onions-to sprinkle over the dosa.
Mix all the ingredients together except the onions .Keep adding water slowly to form an extremely watery batter.The consistancy is much thinner than the regular dosa batter.
Let it rest for 15mins.
Check the consistancy again.The batter may have become a little thick due to the sooji soaking up some of the water.
Add some more water to bring it to a watery consistancy.
The batter is ready.
Heat a nonstick pan/tava and let it be remain on  flame.
Sprinkle some of the chopped onions on the tava.

now sprinkle the watery batter over the tava so as to cover the whole surface.

Drizzle a tsp or two of oil and let it cook on high flame till it reaches a golden colour.
As the dosa is paper thin,there is no need to turn the dosa upside down and cook it on the otherside.

Fold the dosa in any way you like and serve immediately with coconut chutney.

  1. Hi Anjum. I also use them in the ratio of 1:1:1 and have always enjoyed my result. I normally let the batter stand for half an hour. Surely this one of the best textured dosas and urs looks good.

  8. Thanks for the wonderful comments!
    @Pari-1:1:1 propotion can be used for the ones who love the dosa being a little soft since ur increasing the maida quantity here.With these propotions you get real crisp dosas.So can change the propotions to ur liking.

  12. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe... I've been craving dosa for so long and when I say dosa, I mean any kind of dosa. At university I don't have the time to do all of the prep to make them so these are perfect! I will be trying them this weekend!
