A popular South Indian crepe recipe made with semolina, rice flour, and plain flour.

Dosa recipes are a staple breakfast for many South Indians. There are myriad ways to make these crepes and can be made with different ingredients and seasonings including different types of dry spices and vegetables. One such crispy and flaky Dosa recipe is onion Rava Dosa or Suji Dosa known for its thin and porous texture.
Frequently getting a lot of queries regarding the crispiness and how to achieve it in non-stick tawa. I had used my cast iron tawa which was the primary reason for a crisp dosa. In this post, I have showcased the same recipe with non-stick and achieved the crisp and crunchy suji ka dosa. The trick is to roast the dosa on a low flame. In addition, I have added 1 tbsp of sour curd which helps to attain the golden crisp color of the dosa. Further to these, even though the recipe is known as instant, resting the dosa batter for a minimum of 20 minutes yields the best result for a crisp onion rava dosa.
