Rava Dosa
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".

About Rava Dosa
This version of dosa is modified from a hotel called arya bhavan here. It turns out so crispy and thin and tasty. The measurement 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 quantity 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.

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.
Fathima
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

@SheelaRice flour gives the crispyness to the dosa. You can use couple of ladleful of dosa batter.

@Unknownit is bombay rava
Sameeha Basith
Hi can we store the batter in refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
Aarthi
@Sameeha Basithyes u can
Regi
Can I skip maida ?? Any alternative ??
Julie
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.
Aarthi
@Regiuse wheat flour
Aarthi
@Julieno need to roast rava
Anonymous
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...😟😟
Aarthi
@Anonymousit may be because u added too much maida. Add more rice flour and sooji
vaishnavi

Aarthi

It looks yumm.il surely try it
aarthi dhanraj
Whats the difference between bombay rava n idli rava??
aarthi dhanraj
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?
aarthi dhanraj
Its defntly crispy by the way 🙂
Aarthi
@aarthi dhanrajit is because of too much rice flour
Aarthi
@aarthi dhanrajbombay rava is made with wheat, idli rava is made with rice
aarthi dhanraj
Can we use Idli rava in all places instead of bombay rava? Our usual rava we getting is wheat only i think
Aarthi
@aarthi dhanrajidli rava is completely different.
Poornima Nair
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.
Aarthi
@Poornima Nairfollow the written recipe..it must be a typo in the image

Aarthi

You have to adjust the water quantity. The batter has to be very thin.
