Ensure both sides are cooked properly.10.Remove the dosa from the tawa and serve hot with chutney, sambar, or any side dish of your choice.11.Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more dosas.
Notes
- The consistency of the batter is crucial for making dosas. If the batter is too thick, the dosas will turn out dense and heavy. If it's too thin, the dosas may not hold their shape.
- Dosas cook best on a medium-high heat. Too low heat may result in soggy dosas, while too high heat can burn them. Adjust the heat accordingly to achieve a crispy and evenly cooked dosa.
- Before pouring the batter, make sure the tawa or griddle is hot and well-greased with oil or ghee. This will prevent the dosas from sticking and help in achieving a crispy texture.
- When spreading the batter on the tawa, use a ladle or the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter in a circular motion. This will help in creating a thin and even dosa.
