Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Dosa batter
  • ½ Onion, finely chopped
  • ½ Carrot, grated
  • 1 inch Ginger, grated
  • 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Coriander leaves or cilantro, finely chopped
  • Oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Add onion, green chilies, carrot, ginger, and coriander leaves in a bowl.
    ½ Onion, finely chopped, ½ Carrot, grated, 1 inch Ginger, grated, 2 Green chilies, finely chopped, 1 tablespoon Coriander leaves or cilantro, finely chopped
  • Heat the tava on medium flame and drizzle oil. You can use a cast iron pan or nonstick dosa tawa.
    Oil for cooking
  • Once the tawa is hot, pour the laddle full of batter at the center of the tawa and, using the back of the laddle, lightly spread. This dosa should be thick.
    1 ½ cups Dosa batter
  • Now sprinkle the toppings. Drizzle oil around the edges. Cover it with the lid and cook on medium flame.
  • Once it becomes golden brown at the bottom, flip and cook on another side on medium-high flame for about one to two minutes or until it becomes charred. Add more oil if needed.
  • Repeat the process for the remaining batter.

Notes

  • If you find it difficult to handle a big dosa with toppings, you can cook three mini dosas at a time instead of one.
  • The batter should be thick else you will not be able to add the toppings. 
  • Make sure the pan is hot before you add the batter. 
  • Do not be in a hurry. Cook the dosa on medium flame, and only once you flip it you can increase the flame to medium-high to make it charred like restaurant style. 
  • Adjust the toppings as desired. 
  • Drizzle oil at the beginning only if using cast iron tawa.
