Notes
How to make Dosa
Step 1: Firstly we need the perfect dosa batter to make a perfect dosa. Here I am using homemade. To make it follow my homemade dosa batter recipe.
Step 2: Now take a preheated non-stick tawa (temperature should be medium of the tawa). Then add 1/2 cup of dosa batter on it. after that spread it evenly using a flat steal bowl from center to out side. Make you dosa as round as possible. Wait for 1 minute.
Tips: My tawa is 25cm and perfect for a large dosa. So I have used 1/2 of batter. Use dosa batter according to your tawa size. Otherwise you dosa will be thick so you might not enjoy the crispiness of dosa. It takes some time to perfect it in first try. After couple of tries you will get your perfect way of doing it.
Step 3: At this point put 1 tbsp. of butter on the top of dosa and spread equally. Cook the dosa for another 2 minutes on medium flame. It makes the dosa crispy and perfect brown in color.
Tips : You can flip the dosa and cook it from the other side. I prefer to cook my dosa from both side.
Step 4: Try to fold the dosa from that side, which came out first from tawa. For this use a thin spatula.
Step 5: Take it out on a plate and make the other dosa using the same methods.
Step 6: Serve with green coconut chutney and sambar. Enjoy your fresh morning with delicious breakfast.
