Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- Oil (2 tablespoons, plus extra for greasing the pan)
- Water (3 cups)
- Salt (1 teaspoon or to taste)
- Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Cumin seeds (1 teaspoon)
- Green chilies (2, finely chopped)
- Onion (1 large, finely chopped)
- Rice flour (1 cup)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the semolina and rice flour.
- Add the finely chopped onion, green chilies, cumin seeds, black pepper, and salt to the bowl and mix well.
- Gradually pour in the water, stirring continuously, to create a smooth, thin batter. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan, quickly spreading it with the back of the ladle in a circular motion to form a thin pancake.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the dosa and let it cook until the bottom turns golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook the other side until it's golden and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked dosa to a serving plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the Onion Rava Dosa hot, accompanied by coconut chutney or sambar for a complete, authentic South Indian experience.
