Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix rava, rice flour, and maida (if using). Add salt and combine well.

   3 minutes

   Use fine rava for smoother batter and crispier dosas.

2. 2

   Add chopped garlic, green chillies, curry leaves, cumin seeds, and black pepper to the flour mixture.

   2 minutes

   Crush garlic for a stronger aroma and flavor.

3. 3

   Gradually add water and whisk to form a thin, flowing batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes for flavors to infuse.

   10 minutes

   Batter should be much thinner than regular dosa batter for lace-like texture.

   Heat a tawa on medium-high flame. Grease lightly with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter from the outside in, letting holes form naturally.

   2 minutes

   Don’t spread the batter; let it flow for authentic rava dosa pattern.
