PREPARATION OF DOSA:


Heat a non-stick pan or a heavy flat pan(tawa) to make Dosa, when the pan is sufficiently heated keep a medium flame. 

Now wipe the pan with a thick wet cloth, first grease the pan with little oil(pan should only look smooth, oil should not be seen). 

Pour a big spoon full of BATTER in the middle of the pan, move the spoon in round circles(REFER DOSA RECIPE PICTURES) as you spread a thin layer of Dosa(12-14 inches in diameter) on the pan. 
Pour little oil with the spoon all around the Dosa.

Cook Dosa on a medium flame, when the upper layer seems cooked even the layer below turns brown. Now place 1-2 spoon of MASALA on the Dosa and spread it all over. 

Using a ladle pick Dosa from the edges and fold it, take it put of the pan and place on a plate. 
For the next Dosa pour 1 spoon full of mixture in the pan and spread it all over, follow the same process to cook the Dosa. 

All Dosas are to be made in this same manner. Serve hot Dosas with Sambar and Coconut Chutney and eat. dosa_on_tawa_779056610.jpg
