About Rava Dosa

Rava dosa is made from a thin batter of semolina, rice flour and plain flour that does not need fermenting. Poured onto a very hot griddle, it cooks into a lacy, extra crisp crepe.

Regional versions

Onion rava dosa, with chopped onion and green chili in the batter, is the most popular version. Rava masala dosa adds the potato filling, and some places add cashews or coconut.

What to order with it

It takes longer to make than a regular dosa, so expect a short wait. Sambar, coconut chutney and filter coffee are the usual partners.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
