butter rava dosa recipe with step by step photos – a delicious variation of the popular rava dosa made with butter. butter rava dosa is also served in many restaurants. another variation of rava dosa is this onion rava dosa which i have already shared.

rava dosa is one of those easy to prepare breakfasts that anyone can make. these crisp buttery dosas tastes good and are simple enough to prepare.

in this recipe, butter is used instead of oil. you can use both salted butter or unsalted butter. but salted butter tastes better. the flavor of the butter makes a lot of difference to these crisp dosas. you can also use ghee instead of butter.

when preparing instant rava dosa with butter, a few things to keep in mind. firstly when adding butter, the tawa or pan should not be too hot. the butter should just melt and not get browned or burned. so when adding butter, keep the flame to a medium-low or medium flame. then pour the dosa batter and then increase the flame to medium or medium-high.

serve butter rava dosa with coconut chutney or sambar.
