NOTE: 
Buttermilk is optional. Water alone can be used.
The batter should be thin and watery. Thin and watery batter gives lacy dosas.
Mix the batter well before making each dosa. 
DO NOT cook in high flame. 
DO NOT spread the batter with ladle. 
Pouring the batter on the pan from 1 or 2 inches height gives lacy rava dosas.

VARIATION:

1/4 cup maida can be added to the above ingredients.

Onion rava dosa: If using onions, sprinkle finely chopped onions all over the tawa and pour the batter, alternatively onions can be sprinkled quickly after pouring the batter too. Finely chopped onions can be added to the batter as well.
