Why rava dosa calorie numbers differ
Rava dosa is a thin, lacy crepe of semolina, refined flour and curd with onion, green chilli, ginger and curry leaves in the batter. The loose batter is poured onto the tawa and needs plenty of oil around the edges to turn crisp, so the oil used decides the calories far more than the batter does. Hotel versions are usually larger and oilier than home versions.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 27% of the calories in 1 rava dosa.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 73 g per rava dosa. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
