Method:
Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl including rice flour, semolina, onion, carrot, green chilli, coriander and curry leaves. Add cumin seeds, salt to taste and double the quantity of water. Mix well till you get a runny batter with a smooth consistency.
Now, cover the batter and let it rest for five minutes. Meanwhile, heat up the dosa tawa on medium flame. Remove the lid from the batter and mix it again. Use a small bowl to pour the batter onto the tawa. Start pouring on the outer edges, and then move towards the centre covering the entire tawa. This will make the dosa thin and super crisp.
Let the dosa become crisp on medium flame. Add a little bit of oil and let it cook. Flip the dosa and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with chutney or sambhar!
