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.

Now pan is ready to prepare dosa.

Now cut 1 ONION  and

the dosa pan & then drop dosa batter and

spread it as required.

**If you are beginner then to

prevent dosa from

sticking you can apply oil at

sides of dosa else after

few practice you don't need

oil to take out dosa

from the non-stick pan.

Dosa will come out by itself.

Tip-3 (Easy & Best tip)

Take the Non-stick pan on which

you are going to

prepare dosa, now

sprinkle atleast 2

teaspoon of wheat

flour into that pan

and now do hard

work which is to rub

wheat flour(atleast 2 mins) very well

to all over the pan. Now remove excess

wheat

flour and wash the pan before using it.

Tip-5

If your dosa still stick into the

pan then dip the ladle or

into water and then use that

laddle to easily

take out dosa from the pan.

then

add 2 teaspoon of semolina into

the dosa batter. it will work fine.

Check the consistency

of the dosa batter. if it

is too thick or too thin

then dosa will not

come out.

Tip-8

Dosa batter should

not be too

chilled.Let

it be at a room

temperature before

making the dosas.

Tip-9

I always suggest to use

non-stick

pan rather than using

iron tawa to make

dosas.

Tip-10

If you want to use

tawa for making

then always use

separate tawas to

make dosa and roti.
