no ghee - a little oil, that's all. surprisingly, it required very little oil to make it crispy. a good pan helps, i guess. also, the batter should be very watery and poured very thin to get the lacy, crispy output.

seriously ..very impressive. yeah I think he pan is critical, perhaps flatter for rava dosais..in the usual ones, even when you pour the batter from outside to inside, the center is not this great looking.. salute to you.

Oh wow! Awesome! It looks so thin and crispy! Great job, bw. I'm going to try it too, sometime this week. Thanks for the pix and of course, the inspiration.

rashmun,

here are the recipes. most of my creations these days are adapted from various videos off the web.

rava dosas:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRNAe4PwX_U

i didn't add green chillies to the batter. i sprinkled some chopped onions and green chillies on the pan and then poured the batter on top of it. the key to the whole thing is the consistency of the batter and how one "pours" it. no spreading in circle like the regular dosas but instead, you just pour it in interlacing patches, as thin as possible. traditionally, one sprinkles the batter by hand (vahrehvah dude demonstrates that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FDbSvQ8wGo ). i did try a couple by that method too but since my kids would have gone "ewwww, that's gross!" and refused to touch the dosas, i went back to using a ladle. also, the pan must be totally flat so that when you start pouring from the outer rim, the batter doesn't run towards the centre.

i don't like the dosas crumbling, pricking-the-mouth crisp and so i took it out at a stage where it was nicely browned and crispy but still foldable without breaking.

arachuvitta sambar:

try the following recipe. very similar to what i did - i used sliced onions instead of sambar onions and also, added aubergines in addition. you may use any other vegetable like drumstick, ash gourd etc. i suppose.

coriander-coconut chutney:

this one is from a book i have - nothing much to it. dump a cup of grated coconut, some cilantro, 2-3 tbsps of roasted gram dal, salt, 2-3 green chillies into a blender and grind to a fine paste. add some whipped yoghurt to this for sourness (i skipped that). splutter some mustard, black gram dal, curry leaves in oil and add to the chutney.

Thanks for that tip on onions/chili. The dosas look absolutely delicious.
