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 in a circular motion to form a thin layer.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the dosa.
Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown (about 1-2 minutes).
Flip the dosa if desired and cook for another 30 seconds (optional).
Fold and remove from the tawa. Serve hot with chutney and sambar.
Repeat the process for the remaining batter.
