Traditional South Indian cuisine can be easily made at home for a healthy meal. But making a crispy rava dosa at home can be tricky. Here are some tips to make light and crispy rava dosa.

Batter Consistency

To make a crispy rava dosa, the thin and runny consistency of the batter is the most important.

Rest The Batter

Llet the batter rest for about 20 minutes so that the rava softens and absorbs the flavours.

Use Non-Stick Pan

To prevent the rava dosa from sticking, use a non-stick pan and ensure you are greasing it with oil.

Pouring Technique

Unlike a regular dosa, don’t spread the batter with a ladle. Instead, pour it from a height in a circular motion to get a thin layer.

Medium-High Heat

For the crispiest rava dosa, use medium-high heat, as low heat will make it soggy and high heat can burn the dosa.
