Made primarily from semolina, Rava Dosa is easy to make and can be enjoyed for breakfast, a snack, or a light meal. Let’s dive into this delicious recipe that will remind you of our kitchen at Mom’s Dosa!

## Ingredients List
– 1 cup semolina (rava)
– 1/4 cup rice flour
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional)
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
– 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
– 3 cups water (or as needed)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
– Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnishing)
– Oil or ghee (for cooking)

## Instructions/Steps
1. **Prepare the Batter**: In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina, rice flour, all-purpose flour, cumin seeds, black pepper, and salt. Gradually add water to the mixture and whisk it into a smooth, thin batter. The consistency should be pouring-like, similar to heavy cream. Allow the batter to rest for about 15-20 minutes.

2. **Add Vegetables**: After resting, stir in the finely chopped onions, green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves into the batter. This will add flavor and texture to your Rava Dosa.

3. **Heat the Pan**: Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) or pan over medium heat. Once it’s hot, drizzle a little oil or ghee to coat the surface.

4. **Cook the Dosa**: Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan, spreading it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa. Make sure to leave some gaps, as Rava Dosa is meant to be crisp. Drizzle a little oil around the edges and let it cook for about 2 minutes.

5. **Flip and Cook**: Once the edges start to turn golden and crispy, flip the dosa and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are nicely browned.

6. **Serve Hot**: Remove the dosa from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, serving each Rava Dosa hot with coconut chutney and sambar for the ultimate experience!
