Ghavne - Pronounced as - Ghaa- va-Nay or Ghaa-won
Malvani Lacey Dosas
Ingredients
1 cup rice flour
2 cups water
salt to taste
Oil as needed
Method
1. Whisk rice flour, salt and water till no lumps remain.
2. Heat a tawa/griddle/pan.
3. When it is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter, and tilt the pan from all the sides to spread the batter.
4. Immediately, you will notice the holes to the dosa. Cover. Let it cook. Add oil as needed.
5. Flip & cook on the other side, if you like.
Notes -
1. Instead of water, coconut milk or fresh coconut water can be substituted.
2. Make sure they are cooked from both sides but should be soft and not crunchy.
3. Brown rice flour can be substituted.
4. Ghavnes are also served with Coconut milk + Jaggery mixture.
5. You may not need oil or may need very little oil if using nonstick pan.
6. Aaji always used bidaacha tawa - cast iron pan - for making ghavne.
7. You can proceed without flipping this crepe. This crepe is meant to be soft and not crunchy.

Iron Tawa is very imp for this, looks wonderful Meera. Very lacy and easy recipe too!:)
Wow i am speechless it looks really like a lace. When i saw the pic that is what i thought first.
Beautiful.
So can we make them in a non stick pan or is it like Asha said we need a iron tawa.
Wow...another instant dosa variety for me to try out...thanks for sharing
Hey, nice and easy recipe with simple ingredients..Looks so much like Neer dosa. Will try this one soon..
omigosh - thank you so much for that recipe - I've tried to get it from so many different people!
WOW.... Lovely dosa. Looks great. YUM! So different....
Simple and delicious, Uma. What a lovely recipe to share!
Sorry, Meera- I think in my haste I just called you Uma. My apologies. Please correct.
Need to try this today!!
delicious dosa. Lovely color.
Love this, it seems so simple and I like the lacy Look. Will try this soon. Thanks for sharing Meera
Hey Meera, I have been wanting to comment on your wonderful recipes for soooo long but finally got time today.
Its so good to see Malvani classics on your blog. Reminds me of my maternal grandma and lazy summer vacations in my grand parents' house.
These plain ghavan go very well with chicken curry imo. And for breakfast sometimes my grandmom/ aunt used to add finely chopped onion, cilantro, green chiles and coconut to the batter. My mom also adds grated cucumber! Served with chutney they make a very filling breakfast.
Ohhh you and Shilpa have made me very nostalgic today :(
Some thing similer to our Neeru Dosa, Simple and easy Nice dosa Meera !!
this is called as neer dosa...urs is perfect..
I am going to make this for BF tomorrow. Thank you so much, Meera!:)
Asha:
Thanks. You are right, iron tawa gives the right flavor too. But I don't have required skills or well-seasoned iron tawa. So it always gets stuck. I meant to bring my aaji's tawa with me from India. but it is quite heavy. Hopefully, next time.:-)
HC:
Asha is right. For the authentic recipe, iron tawa is a must. but I do a little bit of cheating and use nonstick one since I lack the skills to use iron tawa. Maybe one day, I will master it!:-)
EC:
Thanks dear. Do try. Make sure the pan is hot to get the lace.
Maya:
Do try & let me know how you like it. It is like neer dosa. U r right!
Arundathi:
Reall? I am so glad you got the recipe then! Do try.
Sukanya Ramkumar:

Vaishali:
That's ok, dear!! I know you meant Meera!!:-) Thanks.
Ananva:
Thanks. Do try. Let me know.
Uma:
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Medhaa:
It's my pleasure. Thanks.
Ashwini:
Can't tell you how encouraged I feel by your comment. I am really very happy. I know what u mean - those time with grandparents/aunts/ & all the pampering!!! I miss those days!
Archy & Suma Rajesh:
This does look similar to Neer Dosa. Thanks for dropping by.
TBC:
Guess, what I had for breakfast today??? Something from your blog. I am going to blog about it next week for Sia's MBP - Street Food!! Can u guess?;-)
Hey Meera, I tried the Ghavan today and they tasted great. i wasn't able to get that round perfect shape like urs, but taste was too cool. My husb also said, next time instead of making rice, we can have these dosas when there is a chicken curry or so.Its the fastest and quickest dosa I've made so far. As per ur note, I added half a cup of coconut milk and the rest water.We had this with Kotumabari palya gojju today. Thanx again dear :)..
Thankyou meera for the info. Will make this then as i only have non stick.
Hey Meera,
I made this today. I used some coconut milk instead of water. Thank you for a super quick recipe! :)
Wow Meera!!! So happy to see your Malvani section... Many of these dishes are my personal favourites... For me, this one tops it all... At my place, we usually have this with "hirvi/khobryachi chutney"... My aaji used to use bidyacha tava too...
On my electric stove even if I do use a cast-iron griddle, I don't quite get the soft, netted texture :(... I miss that...
Oh thank you so much...junya aathavani jaagrut kelya baddal...I tried making this dish so many times but failed miserably...Aai makes it perfect...I finally got the birda from target from the Martha steward section and now I too have started making good ones...Ghavne is simply the msot delicious thing I have ever tasted..I usually have it with Khobryachi chutney or the dudh gul mizture...I also remember the saat kaape ghavan from Malvan..Yummy...
lookin good & very simple to make it
