Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dosa Base
Heat a dosa tawa or flat pan on medium heat. Pour one ladle of dosa batter onto the center of the pan and spread it into a small, thick circular dosa.
Step 2: Add Podi and Onions
Immediately sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of podi evenly over the dosa. Then, add a generous amount of finely chopped onions on top of the podi.
Step 3: Add and Spread Egg
Crack one egg directly onto the center of the dosa, over the onions and podi. Use a spoon to gently spread the egg yolk and white to cover the toppings.
Step 4: Season and Cook First Side
Sprinkle a little more podi over the egg. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa. Cook for approximately until the edges start to crisp and the egg is partially set.
Step 5: Flip and Cook Second Side
Carefully flip the dosa to cook the egg side directly on the tawa. Cook for another until the egg is fully cooked and the dosa is golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Serve Hot
Remove the cooked Egg Onion Podi Dosa from the tawa and serve immediately.
Pro Tips
• Ensure the pan is hot before pouring the batter.
• Spread the egg mixture evenly for uniform cooking.
• Adjust the amount of podi and onion to your taste.
Variations
• Add green chilies or chili powder for extra spice.
• Include grated carrots or other vegetables.
• Serve with chutney or sambar.
