Crispy Rava Dosa

Method
Coarsely grind cumin seeds and black peppercorns together.
In a large bowl combine rava, maida, rice flour, chopped green chillies, coriander leaves, curry leaves, required salt and water. Mix well everything, the batter has to be slightly watery. Cover the bowl and rest batter for atleast 2 to 3 hours. After 3 hours the batter will be slightly thick because rava absorbs more water, again mix well the batter by adding little more water. Heat a tawa or griddle, when the tawa is smoking hot, take a ladle full of batter and start pouring the batter from the outside rim of tawa to inwards center of tawa. Smear 1 tsp oil around the dosa. Large holes will appear on rava dosa( do not fill the holes and gaps with extra batter this will make the rava dosa soggy and thick) rava dosa with large holes and gap will be light and crispy. Cook the rava dosa on both sides on medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
