Notes

Adjust sugar, green chilies, and ginger to taste as desired.
The amount of water you add varies depending on the amount of water content the zucchini has. More water will make it mushy and soggy. So add in ¼ cup increments to the batter.
Wipe off the pan with tissue to remove any excess oil after cooking each pancake if desired. In this way, you can quickly spread the next batter.
This dosa (pancake) should be cooked on medium flame before flipping. Else it remains uncooked inside. After flipping, you can increase the flame to high and make it charred or golden brown as desired.
