  • Take a dosa tawa or a non-stick pan and place it on a medium heat.
  • Apply few drops of ghee on the pan.
  • Take a piece of cloth and rub it all over the surface of the pan to grease it. Do this step for each dosa.

  • Now sprinkle a little bit of water with your hand. Wait for the water to crackle and evaporate. This ensures that the Dosa will spread evenly and not break because the pan is too hot.
  • Take one spoonful of dosa batter and gently pour this batter onto the center of the pan.

  • Now begin to spread the batter in sweeping circular motions to form a circle. Do not be alarmed if the Dosa develops tiny holes as you spread the batter.

  • If you need, apply oil or  ghee over the surface of the dosa and also around its edges. If you want you can hold the pan by its handle, lift up and swirl it so as to make the drizzled oil spread all over the Dosa.
  • When the bottom side of the dosa is done, turn the dosa  and  cook for another 1 min.
