Tips & Tricks

FAQS

  1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of rice flour?

    Rice flour is essential for the crispiness of rava dosa. Whole wheat flour may not provide the same texture.

  2. Can I skip the resting time?

    Resting the batter allows the semolina to absorb water and results in better texture. Skipping it may affect the final outcome.

  3. Can I add other vegetables?

    Yes, you can add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or tomatoes for added flavor.

  4. Can I make this dosa without oil?

    Oil helps in achieving a crispy texture, but you can reduce the quantity or use a non-stick pan to minimize oil usage.

  5. How do I store leftover batter?

    You can store the batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Stir well before using again.
