2. Add 4 cups of water to it, adding the water correctly to this batter is a secret of this dosa. I have measured all the ingredients and water in the same measurement cups. 

3. Now add chopped green chili, chopped ginger, whole black pepper, cumin, some curry leaf, and coriander leaves, and finally some cashew.

4. Let this batter rest at least for an hour, to make rava get well soaked in the batter.

5. After an hour, the batter will look like this.

6. Now the batter is ready, let's make the dosa. Make sure to keep the tawa on hot and keep the flame on medium to high.

7. Give a nice stir to the batter until it gets evenly mixed with all the ingredients (particularly Rava gets well mixed with the batter). Batter must be in pouring consistency as shown in the video, if needed add some water.

8. Now pour the batter as flowing in the Hot tawa as shown in the video.

9. Now add some oil to it and let it cook for atleast 2 minutes. Turn the dosa to the other side and cook for another 2 minutes.

10. Rava dosa is ready to be served.
