Rava Dosa

Ingredients
Suji (Sooji) - 1 cup
Rice flour - 1/4 cup
Curd - 1 cup (curd should be little sour)
Maida - 1/4 cup
Jeera (Cumin seeds) - 1 tbsp
Salt to taste

Garnishing -
Onions - 1 big finely chopped
Green Chillies - 3 or 4 finely chopped

Procedure
In a bowl take Suji, rice flour, Maida, cumin seeds and salt. Add to this the curd and mix well into a batter. Keep aside this batter for an hour.

Add some water to this batter and mix well making sure that the batter is not very watery nor is it very hard. The whole idea is to make the batter just perfect.

Now take a shallow frying pan and heat 1 tbsp of oil spreading it across. Now take the dosa batter (around 1 big spoon) and prepare the round dosa by slowly expanding it from the middle (alternatively you can use a small katori / steel cup). Add a little oil at the edges and fry on both sides till golden brown.

Once the dosa is fried, before serving sprinkly the finely chopped onions and green chillies. Fold the dosa and serve hot with Coconut Chutney or Idli Chutney.

Author's Note
Idea of Rava Dosa is to prepare the batter just perfect and fry on both sides till golden brown.
