4. Pour a ladle full of dosa batter from the outward base to inside base of the tava in circular motion until the whole tawa is filled (Note : You have to keep on mixing the batter otherwise rava may settle down) combine well each time you pour the dosa batter over the tawa.
5. Drizzle few drops of oil around and on the dosa, spread it evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat .
6. At this point increase flame to high and let the dosa roast, Now flip it to other side and cook for 2 minutes in low flame. Again adjust the flame to high and make remaining dosas. Serve hot with chutney or sambar and Enjoy!
Notes :
- You can add chopped onion and grated coconut as well when mixing the batter.
- Cast-iron tawa is best than a non stick tawa.
- The batter can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
