Wheat Rava Dosa

My mother made this for dinner recently and this is a yummy variation from the usual kind of dosas. Soak 3 cups of Samba broken rava and 1 cup of raw rice and 1 tbsp of toor dhal for about 3 hours. Grind this mixture adding 1-2 red chillies and add salt. You can make very thin, crisp dosas with this batter.
