A quick and instant South Indian snack crispy rava dosa is a crispy thin and light crepe where all the ingredients are mixed together and make the dosa. A perfect rava dosa batter is made by adding a perfect amount of rice flour, maida (all-purpose flour), curd, semolina, and a perfect ratio of water. A crispy rava dosa is one of my favorite recipes after masala dosa and onion uttapam.

These thin crepes are very popular in South Indian restaurants and is mainly served with coconut chutney or sambhar. But, this sooji dosa is so delicious that you can eat them without any chutney or sambhar. The magic lies in its ingredients used.

The most important part of a suji dosa recipe is that it doesn’t require any fermentation. You can very easily double or triple the recipe according to your wish. If you like very thin and crispy rava dosa, then you can keep the consistency of your rava dosa batter watery.

If you like a soft version of rava dosa, then you can add some more all-purpose flour. A normal sada dosa is made by soaking the lentils overnight, then blending together into a thick paste, and finally kept it covered for another 8 to 10 hours to ferment.

Another version of rava dosa is rava masala dosa. In this recipe, the potato filling of masala dosa is used inside a rava dosa. I personally like only the simple crispy rava dosa. Rava dosa can be served with coconut chutney or sambhar. You can also serve this instant rava dosa with peanut coconut chutney.

• You can prepare the rava beforehand. Just keep it soaked in water for 15 - 20 minutes. Then you can directly mix it with the other ingredients.
• Curd and rice flour are used to make dosas crispy. Only use the said amount of curd.
• If you love soft dosas, then you can skip the curd and add 1 - 2 tbsp more all-purpose flour.
