RAVA DOSA

Rava Dosa" is a popular south Indian Dish typically made out of "Bombay Rava”. .

The rava dosa is a quick and easy to cook dish which is made delicious and tastes best with sambha and chutney. Unlike the ordinary dosa, dough does not need to be fermented. For Rava Dosa, the ingredients need to be soaked for just 30 minutes to 1 hour. This is apt for the jiffy tiffin making. My mom makes restaurant type Rava dosa. Paddy loves it.  I tried a lot of times, but failed. He always says that you cannot make like your mom’s dosa. I took the challenge ( a new griddle and after $20) I tried it and I succeed. Here is my Rava dosa recipe:
