I cannot believe how fast this month is passing by. When I began this mega marathon, I only had a rough draft of a list of dishes I wanted to make. I figured that dosais are easy and can be made on a day to day basis. I did not realise that so many of them were the soak and ferment kind but I managed. For some alphabets I just wrote down the first dish that came to mind just to complete the list. For R, I had written down Raagi dosai which I make frequently at home though I have never blogged about it. Then I chanced upon this amazing easy rava dosa from Mangalore and I knew it just had to be done.
This is a very flavorful and easy to make dosai which uses ingredients readily available at home. I did not want to blog about any more dosais from Karnataka but I figured that Mangalore cuisine is a separate category in itself as is Coorgi cuisine. So, it is technically not Karnataka dosai, right?

WHAT WE NEED
1/2 cup Semolina / Rava
1/4 cup Whole wheat flour / Atta

- Pour a ladle full of batter and spread it around in a circular shape
- The bhakri will be thick and not very spread-able

Mangalore style rava dosai looks as much as like dal adais na, very thick and am sure these bhakris will definitely make some hungry tummy happy quickly.
I keep gazing at the variety of Dosa’s you come up with ! I love this one as much as I have liked the others ! Soaking and fermenting on day to day basis is a task for me and I would never be able to do , but you do it with such ease .
This Manglorean one seems to be a simple one , getting its flavour from coconut . I am wondering if I will ever be able to do a Dosa Marathon !
My folks would definitely get bored with dosas everyday. With parathas I am barely able to manage 🙂 But I had made some long time back and so I am able to manage. But these dosas win the day by miles. Fantastic pick.
haha it is happening with me too, already made a list with the dish to make but as soon as BM progressing I changes. But loving this fun and great that I joined. This bhakhri must be delicious.
This is something new. The no ferment batter is so nice and those thick uthappam like bakhris sound so yum. I would also top it with some onions…
What a discovery Sowmya, would love to try it as its got coconut. Its nice sometimes to make batter flatbreads that don’t need ay fermentation time.
Yea agree no two regions in a state has similar cuisine..so technically we are doing different cuisines..this one is an excellent choice yaar!
This dosa looks so crisp and healthy for kids also.
The dos looks yum , would love to have some with spicy chutney.
That is a great recipe for a different version of rava dosai. Love the addition of coconut and onion in the batter.
Sowmya, everyday you amaze me with a new style of dosa. No ferment dosa is always a preferred option as it is quick to make. Coconut in this dosa must have lent it a nice flavor
Thats a nice recipe Sowmya. It must have been so flavorful! I too kept changing the dishes in the list and many rotis were searched for, cooked, clicked and posted on the same day!
