Rawa Dosa with Coconut Chutney

Rawa dosa is an instant dosa i fix up for breakfast, when i crave to have dosa and there is no fermented dosa batter available. Rawa dosa, hot from the tawa with coconut chutney goes so well together.

Ingredients

1 cup - Rawa / Sooji ( use fine rawa )
1/2 cup - Rice flour
1/2 cup - All purpose flour / Maida
1/2 of one - Onion, chopped very finely
1 big - Green chili, chopped finely
1/2 inch piece - Ginger, grated finely
1/4 tsp - Jeera / Cumin, crushed mildly
3 tbsp - Curds / Yogurt
2 sprigs - Curry leaves, chopped fine
Sesame oil

Method

1 ) Heat little sesame oil in a pan, add jeera, then onion, green chili, ginger and curry leaves. Fry till onion is translucent. Add rawa and fry lightly on low heat till rawa's color changes lightly. Turn off the stove. Add rice flour and maida to the same pan and mix with rawa. Let the powders warm up with rawa.

2 ) When rawa has cooled, transfer to a mixing bowl. Add curds, salt to taste and 2 cups water and mix with a whisk. Mix well and let the batter stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Add a little more water if the batter is very thick. The batter consistency should be not too thick nor too thin.

3 ) Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot, using a big spoon pour one or 2 spoons full of batter on the pan and spread with spoon in a circular motion to make a thin dosa.

4 ) Smear some sesame oil around the edges of the dosa and in the center. Flip dosa onto the other side and cook both sides well.

Take off the pan and serve on a plate with coconut chutney.

tried this out today. It was very tasty. I loved it. The only problem was while flipping, it was breaking apart.....I don't know why....??? otherwise it was very good. I'll be making it again and again.

Thanks
Rg.

Pravs said...

Rg : Thanks RG for trying :) Only thing i can think of,for the dosa breaking..could be the dosa was spread too thin ? or was the batter a bit watery ? Happy to know you will try this again and again :D
