Instant onion rava dosa recipe..

Onion rava dosa recipe step by step-

This is a variation of the popular rava dosa recipe with onions. Rava dosa is one of the easiest dosa to make since no grinding and no fermentation required.

I have tampered the dosa batter with mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves. This tampering gives a very nice flavour to the  dosa and does not take more than five minutes. 

To make the batter, you can use water or buttermilk. Sometimes i prepare the batter with water and some times with buttermilk. Both ways the onion rava dosa tastes good. The spices and herbs that go into the dosa give their own taste and flavour….                                   Not to forget the presence of onions too.

This instant onion rava dosa is best served with coconut  chutney or vegetable sambhar.
