Make the occassion memorable for you and your family members with this exotic South Indian recipe.
For US to UK equivalents see this rough guide

Recipe Ingredients:

  • one cup semolina/rava
  • one cup maida
  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 4-5 green chillies finely chopped
  • 3/4 inch ginger chopped fine
  • 1 1/2 tspn jeera slightly crushed (enough to bring out its flavor)
  • salt to taste
  • good pinch asafoetida
  • 2-3 chopped onions
  • a bunch cashews
  • oil to make dosas



Method:


· Mix rava, maida, rice flour together into a thick batter adding little water at a time so no lumps are formed. Mixing
by hand is a good idea if you don't have a whisk or electric mixer. Add salt, crushed cumin asafoetida and leave in
a warm spot for six to seven hours at least.
· When ready to eat, spray a non-stick pan lightly with oil and warm.
· Thin out the batter to the consistency where it can be drizzled onto the pan with a spoon. Drop chopped green
chillies and ginger into batter.
· Sprinkle some of the cut onions and cashews onto the pan and now continuing on low-medium heat, drizzle the
batter such that there is a latice work effect. A lot of holes is just the thing. Dribble a bit bit of oil around it and
when the edges start turning brown coax it off the pan with a flat, wide spatula and flip it over. Remove in a few
minutes and make more.
· For the plain rava dosa leave out the onions.


As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
