   1      cup           semolina -- (rava)
   1      cup           maida
     1/2  cup           rice flour
   4                    green chillies -- (to 5), finely
                        -- chopped
     3/4  inch          ginger -- chopped fine
   1 1/2  teaspoons     jeera -- slightly crushed
                        salt -- to taste
   1      pinches       asafoetida
   2                    chopped onions -- (to 3)
   1      bunche        cashews
                        oil

Preparation:

Mix rava, maida, rice flour together into a thick batter adding little water at a time so no lumps are formed. Mixing by hand is a good idea if you don't have a whisk or electric mixer. Add salt, crushed cumin asafoetida and leave in a warm spot for six to seven hours at least. When ready to eat, spray a non-stick pan lightly with oil and warm. Thin out the batter to the consistency where it can be drizzled onto the pan with a spoon. Drop chopped green chillies and ginger into batter. Sprinkle some of the cut onions and cashews onto the pan and now continuing on low-medium heat, drizzle the batter such that there is a latice work effect. A lot of holes is just the thing. Dribble a bit bit of oil around it and when the edges start turning brown coax it off the pan with a flat, wide spatula and flip it over. Remove in a few minutes and make more. For the plain rava dosa leave out the onions
