* Onion Rava Dosa

Rava dosa is a very popular South Indian Breakfast which is very easy to prepare. I have already posted rava dosa here, this is another recipe of rava dosa from my mother’s kitchen. It is an instant recipe and needs no prior planning. It is very tasty, crispy and instant but you need a little skill to prepare this dosa.

Rice flour – 1 1/2 cup
Rava – 1/2 cup
Maida/ all pupose flour – 2 tbsp
Jeera/cumin seeds – 1 1/2- 2 tsp
Whole black pepper – 1 tsp
Green chilli -1 very finely chopped
Thick Buttermilk – 1/4 cup
Onion -1
Water -appoximately 2 3/4 cup
Oil for making dosas
Salt as needed

- Mix rava in 1/4 cup buttermilk and leave it for 15-30 minutes.Chop onions and green chillies very finely.

- In a bowl, mix together rice flour, all purpose flour, cumin seeds, whole black pepper, green chillies and salt needed. Add the rava + butter milk mix to it. Then add approximately 2 3/4 cup of water to it little at a time and mix it well so that there are no lumps.Check for salt. Add if required.

- Now let us see how to make onion rava dosa –
First heat a non stick tawa or a cast iron tawa, sprinkle little onions on top of it. Do not add too much onions as you will have difficulty in removing the dosa from the tawa.

- After mixing it, take a ladle or a small cupful of batter and fill the outer corners of the tawa.

- Then fill in big gaps if any (picture-3). See how lacy and beautiful it is. To make it easier to understand, I have explained it in 3 easy steps but you can pour the batter at one go following the same method.

- Let the dosa get cooked. Rava dosa will take longer time to get cooked than normal dosa, so do not be in a hurry to flip over the dosa. Drizzle a tsp of oil around the dosa.Let the dosa get cooked evenly on all sides.(You can adjust or move the tawa if needed). Wait until the bottom turns nice golden brown and the corners start lifting up slightly.

- Once the bottom turns golden brown, flip over to the other side. Drizzle another 1/2 tsp of oil around the dosa. Let the other side also get cooked.

* Oats Dosa

We all know that oats is a very healthy and nutritious food. Oats has many vital nutrients such as vitamins, fiber and minerals. If you are bored of having oats porridge everyday, for a change you can make this dosa. The advantage is that, you do not have to grind or plan ahead as you do for regular dosa. This dosa can be made in a jiffy.

1 cup Any Instant Oats
1/4 cup Rice flour (or 3 tbsp)
1/4 cup Semolina/rava (or 3 tbsp)
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1 Green Chilli (finely chopped)
1 tbsp Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1/4 tsp Pepper Powder
Salt (as needed)
Sesame seed oil for making dosas

- Dry grind the oats just for a few seconds.

- Mix all the above ingredients except oil, to a dosa batter consistency adding needed water. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

- Heat a non stick tawa, pour a ladle of batter and spread it lightly in a circular motion as you do for normal dosa.

- Drizzle a tsp of oil around the dosa. Make small dosas otherwise, you will not be able to flip over the dosa.

- Keep it on medium flame and cook the dosa. Do not be in a hurry to flip over the dosa. Let it get cooked well.

- When it is cooked, flip it over to the other side. Do it carefully, as this dosa will be very soft.

- After the other side is cooked, remove from heat and serve hot with any chutney or sambar. Repeat the process for the rest of the batter.

- For this, you have to make a watery batter. Instead of spread it, pour the batter from the outside of the tawa. Drizzle oil all around the dosa. Once corners starts to lift up, flip it over to the other side.

* Banana Oats Smoothie

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It keeps us active and energetic throughout the morning. It is important that we should not skip our breakfast.The next time,when you run out of dosa batter or do not find time in the morning to prepare any other breakfast, you can resort to oats smoothie or milkshake recipes.

Oats – 2 tbsp
Milk – 3/4 cup
Yogurt – 1/4 cup (plain, low fat yogurt)
Banana – 1 (peel and cut into 3-4 pieces)
Honey – 2 tsp
Walnuts chopped – 1 tbsp

- Cook oats in 1/2 cup of water and allow it to cool. It will take only 2-3 minutes. You can prepare this even the previous night and refrigerate, so that it will be much easier for you in the morning. Alternatively you can even powder slightly dry roasted oats and add it to your smoothie but I personally prefer cooking oats.

- In a blender, combine cooked oats, yogurt, chopped banana, honey, little milk and blend it until smooth.

- Then add the rest of the milk and blend again.

- Add chopped walnuts and serve chilled. (I loved biting into bits of walnuts in this smoothie)

- It’s very simple yet really satisfying. Enjoy preparing this and leave your feedback.
