Ingredients

- Rice flour – 1/3 cup
- Maida/All-purpose flour – 1 and 1/2 tbsp
- Water – 2 cups or as needed, mixed with 3 tbsp of yogurt
- Coriander leaves – a handful, finely chopped
- Curry leaves – 10 leaves, finely chopped
- Green chilies – 2, finely chopped
- Onion – 2 small, finely chopped
- Salt – to taste
- Black pepper powder – 1/2 tsp or to taste, freshly ground

How to Make Onion Rava Dosa
- Take a bowl and add to it the rava, maida, rice flour, salt, onion, green chilies, and coriander.
- Heat and pan and add 2 tsp of oil to it. Add in the mustard seeds and allow them to crackle. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle as well.
- Add in the curry leaves and saute for a few seconds till they somewhat crunchy and fragrant.
- Turn off the heat and pour the tempering into the bowl containing the flour mixture.
- Add in the water (with yogurt whisked in it) little by little and whisk the mixture to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes. The semolina absorbs the water and the batter will thicken up slightly. So after that, add a little more water and adjust the consistency. The batter should be watery. Add black pepper powder and mix well.
- Heat the non-stick tawa or any tawa that you use for making dosa. Spread some oil all over it with a tissue paper.
- Take a ladleful of batter and pour it over the hot tawa. Hold it a bit higher from the tawa so that the batter splashes against the tawa and it forms a net-like structure.
- Allow the dosa to get golden on the underside. Apply some butter or ghee on top and let it roast for about 3 minutes or till golden.
- Flip the dosa and let it cook on the other side for a minute or two or till done.
- Rava dosa is ready. Remove it onto a plate. Make the remaining dosas in the same way.
- Serve hot with coconut chutney. Enjoy!
