Method
Step 1
HOW TO MAKE ONION RAVA DOSA Take a mixing bowl. Add semolina, rice flour, cumin seeds, green chilli, onion, curd, salt, coriander leaves and mix together.
Step 2
Add water to the mixture and prepare a thin batter. Set aside for half an hour.
Step 3
After half an hour, check for the batter consistency. The batter tends to become little thick. Adjust water accordingly and bring the batter to thin consistency. The batter consistency should be thinner than the regular dosa batter.

Step 5
Take one ladleful of batter and pour the batter into small circles filling the gaps in between. (Do not press with the ladle)
Step 6
Pour oil around the dosa. When the lower side of dosa is cooked to a golden brown, take off the dosa and flip it to the other side. Add oil around the dosa.
Step 7

Step 9
NOTES: You can add whole pepper seeds, ginger or cashew nuts to the batter according to the taste desired. If the batter is too sticky and gets stuck to the tawa, add little rice flour to batter and make dosas. Ghee enhances the taste of dosa. Non stick tawa gives better dosas.
