Onion Rava Dosa – How to make crispy onion Rava Dosa
One of the south-Indian style instant Dosa variety is Onion Rava Dosa. This can be prepared easily for breakfast or dinner without much prior preparations or planning.
The crunchy roasted Rava Dosa makes everyone feel mouth-watering. It is so tasty and easy to prepare. There is no fermentation required for this. So this is one of the tiffin which I often prefer.
Is Rava Dosa Healthy?
Definitely the ingredients added here makes it more healthy. While everyone add all-purpose flour to prepare batter, I prefer to add whole wheat flour. Adding fiber-rich ingredients is always better.
Pepper and cumin that we add to this dosa batter makes it more flavourful and healthy. We get adequate carbs from the rice flour that we include here.
How to serve Rava Dosa?
You can serve this Rava dosa along with some south-indian flavored hot or mild chutney. I love to have this with coconut chutney and tomoto chutney. Though this is the traditional method of serving, you can serve it along with some grated palm jaggery. This way kids love it more.
