Onion Rava Dosa

வெங்காய ரவை தோசை (Onion Rava Dosa)

Onion rava dosa is my sister’s favourite dish. Whenever I go to restaurant with my family in childhood days, she always order this dosa. I asked her to change the option at least one time but she never changes. That much she is addicted to this dosa. Nowadays my kids also like this vengaya ravai dosai. I prepare this dosa once a week for them. They demand variety of chutney for this ஆனியன் ரவை தோசை.
