How to Prepare

Heat the dosa tawa on medium flame and lightly grease it with oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter in the center of the tawa and spread it thinly in a circular motion to make a large, thin dosa.
Drizzle a teaspoon of oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa.
Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes).
Do not flip; fold the dosa into a triangle or roll it and remove from the tawa.
Repeat for the remaining batter, ensuring the tawa is greased lightly between each dosa.
Serve hot with chutney and sambar.
