Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.

  • In a blender, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, green chili, and cumin seeds. Blend until a smooth puree is formed.
  • Add the tomato puree and chopped cilantro to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
  • Gradually add water to the batter, mixing continuously until a smooth, pouring consistency is achieved. The batter should be slightly thinner than pancake batter. Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes. This allows the semolina to hydrate and creates a lighter dosa.
  • Heat a non-stick griddle or tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil.

  • Using a ladle, pour a portion of the batter onto the hot tawa, starting from the edges and working towards the center in a circular motion to create a thin, lacy dosa. You can fill any gaps with a little extra batter.
  • Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa. This helps create a crispy exterior.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown and crispy. Flip the dosa and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Serve the crispy tomato instant rava dosa immediately with your favorite chutney or sambar.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For extra-crispy dosas, let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes before cooking. This allows the flours to hydrate, resulting in a lacier texture.
  • For spicier dosas, finely chop a green chili and add it to the batter with the tomatoes and onions.
  • To make gluten-free dosas, omit the all-purpose flour and slightly increase the rice flour.
  • Refrigerate leftover batter for up to 2 days. Add a splash of water to thin it out before using, as the semolina tends to absorb moisture.

Expert Tips

  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or non-stick tawa for best results. This will prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Serve dosas immediately with your favorite chutneys and sambar for the best flavor and texture.
  • Experiment with different fillings like spiced potatoes, paneer, or mushrooms for a variety of flavors.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover cooked dosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them on a griddle or in a microwave until warm.

Cooking is, of course, my passion. I work as a teacher, and my colleagues love to receive recipes and tips from me, just as I enjoy learning from them. My son and husband encourage me to experiment with and innovate new dishes."
