SOURCE

Ingredients:

1 cup semolina (rava or sooji)
1/2 cup rice flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped green chilies
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped curry leaves
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
2 cups buttermilk
Water, as needed
Vegetable oil, for greasing the pan


Instructions:

Prepare the Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, and buttermilk.
Whisk the ingredients together to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.


Add Flavorful Ingredients:

Add finely chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, coriander leaves, curry leaves, cumin seeds, black pepper, and salt to the batter.
Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.


Adjust Consistency:

The batter should be thin and flowing. If it's too thick, add water gradually until you achieve the right consistency. The batter should be thinner than regular dosa batter.


Rest the Batter:

Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps the semolina to absorb the liquid and results in a better texture for the dosa.


Heat the Griddle:

Heat a non-stick griddle or dosa tawa on medium-high heat. Ensure that the surface is well-greased with oil.


Make the Dosa:

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot griddle in a circular motion, starting from the edges and moving towards the center.


Drizzle Oil:

Drizzle a little oil around the edges and on the surface of the dosa. Cook until the edges turn golden brown and the dosa becomes crispy.


Serve Hot:

Once the dosa is crispy and golden brown, fold it in half or roll it, and serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.

Tips:

For added crispiness, you can sprinkle some finely chopped cashews on the dosa while it's cooking.
Experiment with toppings like grated cheese or finely chopped vegetables for a creative twist.
