Onion Rava Dosa / Thosai – Quick and Simple 

  This dosa recipe is great because  there’s no soaking, no grinding and you don’t need to wait overnight to make the dosa! Mix the ingredients. Do a quick tempering. Let it sit for fifteen tot twenty minutes and you’re set to make dosa as usual. Plain rava dosa is ok, but onion rava dosa adds some flavor and texture that I find more appetizing for breakfast. The onion is minced finely and cooked along with the batter well – so it doesn’t have the raw onion effect –  don’t worry.
