How to Prepare

Heat the dosa tawa on medium flame and lightly grease it with oil or ghee.
Pour a ladleful of dosa batter in the center of the tawa and spread it thinly in a circular motion to form a dosa.
Drizzle 1 tsp of oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges turn golden and crisp.
Sprinkle 1-2 tsp of podi masala evenly over the dosa and add a small dollop of ghee on top of the podi.
Fold the dosa into a roll or triangle shape and remove it from the tawa.
Repeat the process for the remaining batter.
Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.
