Method
Grind all the ingredients in a mixer.
Add it to a bowl. Add water, rava, rice flour, wheat flour and mix well. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Add salt and water, as needed. It should be a thin consistency.
Heat a pan to high and grease with oil lightly. Pour the batter from a height. Do not fill up the holes that form, except very large gaps. The preparation is similar to rava dosa. Pour oil around the edges and cook until you see brown spots start to appear. Reduce the flame to medium-low. Cover and cook for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle onion and coriander leaves around the dosa. Remove from the pan. Serve hot with chutney, podi or plain.
