Notes

  • The proportion of rava, rice flour and maida is 1:1:1/2. It makes the perfect crispy dosa.
  • The dosa batter should be of flowing consistency. So adjust accordingly.
  • This dosa takes some time to cook. You need to wait till it turns crispy. Otherwise it's soft.
  • Every time before making dosa, stir the batter once. Because the ingredients settle down at the bottom.
  • You include chopped ginger, green chillies also to the batter.
