  • 1/2 cup - Semolina or Sooji/Rava (95g)
  • 1/4 cup - All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp - Ginger - fresh, finely grated

  • 1 - Bunch of Cilantro Leaves , finely chopped (optional)

Other Ingredients

  • Oil or ghee as needed

Instructions

Make Maavu (batter)

  1. Mix all the batter ingredients and let sit for 15-20 minutes so the semolina can hydrate.
  2. Mix the batter throughly and in between making dosas. The batter should be runny. You can add up to an additional cup of water to achieve a thin runny batter.

Make Dosas

  1. Heat a large tava or nonstick skillet to medium heat.
  2. Sprinkle a handful of dosa additions evenly over your pan (amount is up to your preference).
  3. Ladle ~1/2 cup of batter from an elevated height from your pan. Move ladle in swift and confident motion across the pan to achieve a lacy and hole-y dosa. 
  4. Evenly drizzle 1/2 Tbs oil or ghee over the dosa.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and let dosa crisp and brown for 3-4 minutes. No need to flip the dosa -- just fold and serve. Enjoy with chutney or sambar.
