RAVA DOSA - Crispy Semolina Savory Crepe
Who doesnt love a dosa. Its Indias super crepe typically made from lentils, this is fermented overnight, ground and cooked till crispy sorta like a crepe. A Rava Dosa or a Semolina dosa is Indias version to a dosa quick fix without the soaking and fermentation period. This is Vegetarian and can be Vegan as well. Granted this dosa is not gluten free like the original, but its speed from prep to table make it very popular. I love that I can wake up one morning, decide that were going to have dosas and get this on the table asap.
I also love the look of the Rava Dosa, unline a regular dosa, the batter is thin and is just dropped onto a hot surface, giving it a lace like effect. These dosas get super crisp and is a great breakfast food with some potato bhaji or curry or some chutney.
