This is my mother’s favorite dosa and mine too. If we go to any restaurant, the first thing we order is Ghee Roast, Paper Roast or Rawa Dosa. We used to make fun of amma for this, but she never cares about anything other than digging in straight away. We make rawa dosa at home often, My version is so quick and instant, that is how I like my food, “FAST & INSTANT”.
This version of dosa is modified from a hotel called arya bhavan here. It turns out so crispy and thin and tasty. The meaurement I have given is perfect for a crispy dosa..But if you want a soft dosa, you can increase the amount of maida in this..But I recommend this quiantity because traditionally rava dosa’s are meant to be crispy..You can serve this with coconut chutney and sambar..They taste great even with tomato chutney..There is another version of rava dosa where they stuff masala inside the dosa..Will post that recipe soon..
This is my last recipe for this weeks BM, will see you all in another week soon..I hope you will love it for sure …I am sending this recipe to Blogging Marathan Day 7 under the theme Seven Days of Dosa Recipes.

Notes
1)Make the batter very thin so that while you make the dosa it forms thinly.
2)You can sprinkle the batter on the tawa using your hands so that it forms holes evenly.
3)Pour the batter from a height so that holes will form on the dosa..Don’t spread the dosa.
4)Mix well before making each dosa..Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding more water if it gets thick as it stands by.Thinner the Batter crispier the dosa..

You are making my mouth water – First had it in my hostel in Chennai. Did not like it much for some reason – tried it again after a few months and loved it so much so that would wake up in time for breakfast even though it was only served on Saturdays! 🙂
Believe me, if I was taking out those dosas, half of it would still be sticking to the tawa. so I usually make smaller dosas. Its an amazing skill to turn it over without breaking it.
Great yummy dosa.
Dosa id my fav. I am drooling…

Looks crispy and delicious. I also order rawa dosa often at restaurants, maybe because we get it hot from the tawa in the hotel, whereas, at home we have to make two or three for ourselves and eat it not so crisp afterwards. or eat standing at the stove with dosas hot from the tawa. :). Aah for the days when me and my sisters used to take turns making dosas for each other, hot hot from the tawa. Now I am waiting for my daughter to grow up :0
Looks very nice and crisp!..good to have run this BM ..

Thank you
wonderful presentation
wonderful presentation
Sure gonna try it if rice flour is nt available anything else can used ??
Tried this Dosa, turned out great.
Like the fact that it can be made instantly. Thank you.
@SheelaRice flour gives the crispyness to the dosa. You can use couple of ladleful of dosa batter.
I like your all recipes. I tried some of these recipes. It is so simple to make and yummy.. I love your blog…
Love your blog.
Very good recipe. Made rava dosa for the first time today. Came out very well. Thanks for the recipe with all the pics and details. Very helpful.
Tried it!!!awesome!!!!
Hi.arthi I am a fan of ur cooking.can u plz share recipe of simple wheat cookies to hav wid tea.
what type of Rava do we use for this Arthi? Bombay rava or the idli rava?
@Unknownit is bombay rava
Hi can we store the batter in refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
@Sameeha Basithyes u can
Can I skip maida ?? Any alternative ??
Hi Aarthi, I am from Sri Lanka. I love all your recipes. Excellent job. Pls clear me whether we should roast the rava before making the batter.
@Regiuse wheat flour
@Julieno need to roast rava
My dosa didnt turn out to be very crispy nd with many holes…though i followed all d instructions…kept d batter very thin…poured it from height…still…😟😟
@Anonymousit may be because u added too much maida. Add more rice flour and sooji
Hi… aarthi… I'm newly married ..your wed page is helping me a lot…Thank u so much..
And I prepared rava dosa yesterday as per ur instructions..taste is too good.but I didn't get crispy dosa.. can I keep extra batter in fridge ?? Can I use after 2 or 3 days ?
@vaishnaviAdd more rava and rice flour, yes u can keep it in fridge
It looks yumm.il surely try it
Whats the difference between bombay rava n idli rava??
I tried this today n i found it bit brittle to my family taste. Im approx with the rava:maidha:rice flour ratio. Wich brings the gardess/brittleness to the dhosa? Rava? Rice flour? Or maidha?
Its defntly crispy by the way 🙂
@aarthi dhanrajit is because of too much rice flour
@aarthi dhanrajbombay rava is made with wheat, idli rava is made with rice
Can we use Idli rava in all places instead of bombay rava? Our usual rava we getting is wheat only i think
@aarthi dhanrajidli rava is completely different.
In the picture, the rice flour is half cup but in the ingredient list it is the maida that is 1/2 cup. Kindly advise.
@Poornima Nairfollow the written recipe..it must be a typo in the image
Rice flour you used is raw or fried
Rice flour used is pachai arisi or normal one?
Water flows from the tongue.
Hey Aarthi cud you also share the recipe for the chutney which is ahown in the picture. Thats one of my fav.. And wud love to make it at home.
it is fine to use only rice flour and rava because maida v dont use at home
Should we use a roasted rava/rice flour or normal ones will do?
