How to Make Instant Rava Dosa Semolina Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup semolina (rava), 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (wheat/maize blend), 1/4 cup rice flour, 1/2 cup plain yogurt (curd), 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Gradually add water, whisking constantly, until you achieve a pourable batter, slightly thinner than regular pancake batter. Let it rest for 3-5 minutes (or up to an hour).
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan or kadai over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and let them splutter.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, a pinch of asafoetida (hing), 2-3 finely chopped green chilies, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 5-6 peppercorns, and a sprig of curry leaves.
  5. Sauté for about 30 seconds until the cumin seeds turn golden brown.
  6. Pour the tempering (step 4) into the batter and mix well.
  7. Heat the same pan or a separate non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface, spreading it in a circular motion from the outside towards the center to form a thin crepe. (The batter should be thin, like crepe batter).
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges appear golden and tiny holes start to appear on the surface. You may cover the pan briefly to speed up cooking.
  10. Gently flip the dosa and cook the other side for another minute or until lightly browned.
  11. Serve hot with sambar, chutney, or your favorite potato vegetable side dish.
