Rawa Dosa - One more type Ingredients sooji / rawa - 1 cup green chilies – 4 - 5 cumin seeds - half a tsp onions - 2 medium coriander - a small bunch curry leaves - a few coconut grating - about two tbsp.(optional) salt to taste. Ghee to make dosas Method Fry rawa like you would for upma. And allow it to cool a bit. (I fry rawa in big quantities and store for ready use. In fact, this prevents the rawa from getting spoilt/worms too.) Finely chop onions, green chilies & coriander and add it to the rawa. Add salt, cumin, curry leaves and required amount of water for dosa consistency & 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 tawa well. Add oil droplets to the dosa to cook it well on both sides. When the dosa starts browning faintly in patches, you know it's done. Just pour a little ghee on the dosa (sometimes it's okay to forget the calorie- count!)
