Rawa Dosa

Ingredients-:
Suji/rawa - 1 cup
green chillies - 5 (increase or decrease the quantity depending on your spice level)
jeera - half a tsp (optional)
onions - 2 medium
cilantro - a small bunch
curry leaves - a few
coconut grating - about two tbsp.
salt to taste.
water.
Method

Fry rawa like you would for upma. (I fry rawa in big quantities and store for ready use. Infact, this prevents the rawa from getting spoilt/worms too.)

Allow it to cool a bit. Finely chop Onions, green chillies & cilantro (coriander leaves) andadd it to the rawa. Add salt, jeera, curry leaves and required amount of water for dosaconsistency & mix really well.

After a few minutes you will notice that the batter absorbs water and becomes thicker.Add little more water and mix well till you get the right consistency.

When the consistency is okay, start making dosas. Grease the griddle / tawa well. Add oildroplets to the dosa to cook it well on both sides.

When the dosa starts browning faintly in patches, you know it's done. Smear a little gheeon the dosa(Sometimes it's okay to forget the calorie-count!).
