Restaurant Style Rawa Dosa

Restaurant Style Rawa Dosa

Hotel Style Rawa Dosai:

Saravanaa Bhavan Hotel Style Rawa Dosai. Restaurant Style Rawa Dosa. Paper Thin Rawa Dosa. Rava Dose. Sooji Dosa. Semolina Crepes.

Though I claim here, its Restaurant style but I have to admit that mine isn’t that perfect after all! But I am glad that I tried. :) I am not a big fan of Saravana Bhawan’s food.:( I am sorry. One main thing is ‘its totally vegetarian’ and the second thing is ‘I feel its kind of greasy’ always! Anyway…that’s my opinion. But many of my vegetarian friends consider this place, heaven. They simply rave over the number of tiffin items prepared there. Well, I ought to contradict my own statement now…I love Hotel Style Paper Roast and Onion Rawa Dosa…which is very hard to fix at home (or at least to me). Aaah can I say this after gazing at so many food blogs out there, girls are super smart competing with Restaurant secret recipes!

By the way, I have been trying to perfect this recipe to win some lucky fellow’s heart, here. Hmmm, indeed I did. :) Well…he liked my ‘rawa dosa’ better than Saravana Bhawan’s. I know he is lying…but its kind of sweet. :)

Ingredients:

  • Semolina/Sooji/Rawa 1 cup
  • All purpose flour 1/4 cup
  • Butter milk to liquid the batter
  • Salt
  • Hing/Asafoetida pinch
  • Green chilies finely chopped
  • Cilantro finely chopped
  • Ginger finely chopped
  • Peppercorns few Cumin seeds few
  • Curry leaves few
  • Grated coconut 1 spoon
  • Sesame oil or ghee.

Method:

  1. Make a thin batter using all the above said ingredients except oil. Make them too watery like buttermilk in fact.
  2. Heat up the skillet, make them too hot…now run oil.
  3. Sprinkle the batter unevenly and reduce the heat…now join those dots using batter. Turn over high heat. Run spoon full of oil and remove from heat.
  4. Well…the griddle should be super hot to achieve perfection, maybe don’t consider your first dosa…mostly they won’t budge.
  5. Enjoy with chutney and sambar.
