Didir Onion Rava Dosa
Ingredients
- 1 cup semolina/rava
- 1 cup maida
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 4-5 green chillies finely chopped
- 3/4 inch ginger chopped fine
- 1 1/2 teaspoon 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
Instructions
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. Didir Dosa 3 measures of rice flour 1 measure of urad flour Mix well so no lumps are formed. Salt to taste. Leave covered in a large pot overnight.
