Didir Onion Rava Dosa
indian, pancakes
1 cup semolina/rava
1 cup maida
1/2 cup rice flour
4 green chillies finely
1 chopped
3/4 inch ginger chopped fine
1 1/2 teaspoon jeera slightly crushed
1 salt to taste
1 pinch asafoetida
2 chopped onions
1 bunch cashews
1 oil to make dosas
Mix rava, maida, rice flour together into a thick batter adding little water at a time so no lumps are formed. Mixing by hand is a good idea if you don't have a whisk or electric mixer. Add salt, crushed cumin asafoetida and leave in a warm spot for six to seven hours at least.
When ready to eat, spray a non-stick pan lightly with oil and warm.
Thin out the batter to the consistency where it can be drizzled onto the pan with a spoon. Drop chopped green chillies and ginger into batter.
Sprinkle some of the cut onions and cashews onto the pan and now continuing on low-medium heat, drizzle the batter such that there is a latice work effect. A lot of holes is just the thing. Dribble a bit bit of oil around it and when the edges start turning brown coax it off the pan with a flat, wide spatula and flip it over. Remove in a few minutes and make more.
For the plain rava dosa leave out the onions.
