The only change is dissolve 1 cup of rice flour in 3 cups of water add 3 tbsp rava by adding salt(make sure there are no lumps). Add half a cup of buttermilk. If it becomes too watery add rice flour and vice versa.
Now add all the tempering items as mentioned above and make dosas. The Problem is that dosa may get cracked and looks dry . (BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF RICE FLOUR).
