Crispy Plain Dosa - Street Style

Step 1: Heat the griddle and spread batter

Heat a large flat griddle (tava) over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour one ladle of dosa batter onto the center of the griddle. Using the back of the ladle, quickly spread the batter in a circular motion from the center outwards to form a thin, even circle.

Step 2: Cook the dosa

Drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil or ghee around the edges and over the surface of the dosa. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy, and the edges start to lift from the griddle. Use a spatula to gently loosen the dosa from the griddle.

Step 3: Fold and serve

Once cooked and crispy, fold the dosa in half using the spatula. Remove from the griddle and serve hot with chutney and sambar.

• Ensure the griddle is hot enough before pouring the batter for a crispy dosa.

• Spread the batter quickly and evenly in a circular motion from the center outwards.

• Add a little oil or ghee around the edges for extra crispiness and easy removal.

• Add finely chopped onions or green chilies for Onion Dosa.

• Spread a potato masala filling for Masala Dosa.

• Sprinkle grated cheese for Cheese Dosa.
