Rava Dosa Mix/Sooji ka Dosa

The beauty of Rava dosa is the pores forms while pouring the batter. The batter consistency is unlike regular dosa batter and has to be thin while pouring. I usually prefer tumbler for pouring batter. To make perfect crispy dosa , rava should be soft and so it needs minimum 30 minutes for soaking.

When making dosa, the tawa or non stick pan should be on high flame. After pouring the batter reduce the flame to medium low so, it takes time to cook to golden brown , crisp and netted rava dosa like Restaurant. Simple tricks and correct proportion is all needed for any dish to be perfect like Restaurant.
