5. Take a spoon ful of batter and spread the batter from the outer side of the pan. (unlike the normal dosa which you spread from the inside out.)
6. Pour few drops of oil on top and let it cook for a couple of minutes on one side.
7. Gently flip the dosa and cook until both the sides are golden brown.
8. Serve with coconut chutney and sambhar. You can also stuff it with masala and make rava masala dosa. Tips
- To make the dosa more crispier, increase the amount of rice flour. - You could also make grits dosai and cornmeal dosa using the same procedure. Comments Comment by Rubeena Suhail
Hi Dahlia
I have heard that semolina takes a long time to cook, so can we roast the semolina before making the batter. will there be any difference in taste?
Regards,
Rubeena Reply :-
Hi Rubeena, We soak the semolina for some time. This helps in reducing the cooking time. But comparatively, semolina takes a little longer to cook. You can roast if you like but not necessary. |

Hi, can i use wheat flour instead of maida.
Thanks. Reply :- Maida is just for binding the batter... You can skip the maida part or even use 1 spoon of wheat flour too.. |
