Ghavan, also known as Neer Dosa, is a traditional South Indian crepe made with rice flour and water. It is a simple yet delicious dish that can be served with a variety of chutneys or curries. In this recipe, I will guide you through the process of making Ghavan at home.
Here is a breakfast recipe that is easy to prepare and delicious to eat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of Rice Flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups of Water
- Salt to taste
- Oil for cooking
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, add one cup of rice flour and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Slowly add 1 and 1/2 cups of water to the rice flour while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be thin, almost like buttermilk. Mix well to ensure that there are no lumps.
- Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
- After the batter has rested, give it a stir. The batter would have thickened up by now. Add more water if the batter is too thick, and stir again.
- Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Once the pan is hot, pour a ladle full of batter onto the pan.
- Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter evenly in a circular motion to make a thin crepe.
- Drizzle a little oil on the edges of the crepe and let it cook for about 30-40 seconds.
- Once the edges of the crepe start to brown, use a spatula to loosen the edges and flip the crepe.
- Cook the other side of the crepe for another 20-30 seconds until it turns slightly brown.
- Remove the Ghavan from the pan and repeat the same process for the rest of the batter.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney or curry.
Tips
- The key to making perfect Ghavan is to keep the batter thin. The batter should be almost watery.
- You can add more water to the batter if it thickens up while resting.
- Use a non-stick pan for cooking Ghavan.
- Use a ladle to spread the batter in a circular motion to make thin crepes.
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the crepe to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Serve Ghavan hot, as it tends to get dry when it cools down.
- You can also add chopped onions, coriander leaves, or green chilies to the batter to enhance the flavor.
