Rawa Roast served with Sambar

1.  Rawa dosa take a couple of minutes longer to cook than the regular dosas.So please be patient till it cooks.If you try to flip it before it gets cooked, the dosa is bound to tear.
2. If the first dosa sticks to the griddle, add some more rice flour to the batter.Pour a teaspoon of oil on the griddle and rub the griddle with the cut surface of an onion and then proceed.
3. The amount of curd used depends on the absorption capacity of the flour and semolina.Use at least 1 cup sour curd and the rest can be made up with water.
4. Since Lil Angel does not like to bite into green chilli pieces, I don't add it to the batter.If you don't mind biting into them you can add finely chopped green chillies to suit your taste.
5. You can add chopped roasted cashews to the batter to give a nice crunch to the dosa
6. Another variation is onion rawa dosa.After pouring the batter in step 6, sprinkle a hand full of finely chopped onions and cook for a few minutes.[You need not flip it over].Fold in a triangle and serve.
7. For a spicier version, sprinkle a teaspoon of milagai podi over the onions and fold and serve.
8. You can also add chopped onions and coriander leaves to the batter and prepare it in the usual way.
