Dosa is most demanding breakfast in every South-Indian restaurant
and a popular dish in Indian cuisines. Dosa is usually served with coconut
cutney and sambar. Dosa batter is prepared from rice and urad dal, which
is usually available in our kitchen. Urad dal is the most nutritious pulse
available and rice is already very famous for its easy digestible property.
Nowadays, Dosa is very easy to make since we get MTR or Tops “easy mix” in market
so it take very less preparation time for batter. But the taste of homemade
batter is relatively much better, if you mix in proper proportions. Once Dosa
batter is prepared then with little care we can prepare dosa, just as perfect
as we get in restaurants.

temperature before
making the dosas.
Tip-9
I always suggest to use

iron tawa to make
dosas.

then always use
separate tawas to
make dosa and roti.
