These dosas are very easy to make! We always have Bombay rava/sooji and rice flour at home. My mother used to have raagi/kezhvaragu flour also at home always. If we didn't have normal dosa batter in stock and if we had some visitors, she used to make these dosas in a jiffy! I keep baajra/sola maavu also at home because it is good for health. Wheat flour will be there in each and every home! Now, to the recipe:
Ingredients for both dosas:
Rava Dosa: Raagi Dosa:
1. Rava - 1 cup or 1 measure 1. Raagi/Kezhvaragu/rye flour - 1 cup
2. Rice flour - 1 cup 2. Bajra/solam/milo flour - 1 cup
(Wheat flour also will be fine here)
3. Wheat flour - 1 cup 3. Rice flour - 1 Cup
Common ingredients for both dosas:
4. Pepper/Milagu/Kaali mirch - 1 tsp.
5. Cumin seeds/Jeeragam/Jeera - 1 tsp.
6. Ginger, finely chopped - 1 tsp.
7. Green chillies, chopped - 1 - 2 tsp.
8. Asofoetida/Hing/Perungaayam powder - 1/2 tsp.
9. Chopped coriander and curry leaves (Koththamalli, Karuveppilai/kothmeer and kadi paththa)
Salt as per taste and a pinch of sugar to blend the taste.
Method:
Mix all the ingredients. Pour nearly a litre of water...the batter should be watery like it is in the picture. It should not be thick like our normal rice/urad batter. Then the dosa will be thick. First mix well with half the quantity of water with a ladle and then add more water. Leave for 15 - 20 minutes to soak. The dosa maavu is ready to use! All the flours are of equal measures - it is easy to remember!
Heat the non-stick tava. After it gets heated up, POUR the batter like it looks in the picture. 2-3 tsp. of Ghee-refined oil mixed oil will be tasty for this dosa. We are a bit diet conscious, so, we use 2 tsp. of Gingely oil/til oil/nallennai. The flame should be medium. This dosa will come out nice and crisp if we take time and heat it in a medium flame throughout.
If you have two people to eat at the same time, use two tavas...simple... you need lot of patience while making this dosa! This dosa will be crisp when it is hot! Fold it and serve. NO NEED TO TURN AND COOK! Any type of chutney, coconut or coriander, will be nice for this dosa. Or dosa-milagai podi (click on the link to get recipe!)is best.
Enjoy and I would be happy to know the result please!

Super & Tasty Post. Congrats. Thanks for sharing.
[A small request:
You have to remove the "word verification" from your blog which gives me lot of trouble while giving the comments. Please do the needful to get more & more comments from others.]
VAI.GOPALAKRISHNAN: Thank you, Gopalakrishnan Sir! Do you follow the same recipe? I know that you are a recipe writer.
The 'word verification' is off. I was a bit reluctant about this because I start getting 10-15 mails a day from 'anonymus'...they don't go to 'spam'. I don't know how others manage.
Hi Sandhya,
Can I have your email id?
tasty healthy dosa
RAMA: You got it!
SM: Thank you, SM!
Nice! Southindian food rocks ;)
ADITHYA: Welcome to my space, Adithya! Thank you for the compliment!
Just mouthwatering...looks delicious!
KALYAN: Thank you, Kalyan! Try it at home. It is very easy!
My younger sister taught me how to make rava dosa...Varunavi's loves it. Baajra dosa i never tried it. Rava is the same what i make at home.
VARUNAVI: If you are making rava dosa, then this combination is the same. You add the bajra or raagi powder instead of Rava.
Nowadays, I read everywhere about the benefits of small grains like bajra, raagi etc. We are asked to reduce rice intake and use these grains more, it seems.
Nice recipe, will try the same measurements, thanks for sharing
PREMA VISWANATHAN: Pl.Let me know if it came out well and if you liked it. Better if you write here, thank you, Prema!
