Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Dosa Batter

   In a blender, add 1 cup of chiroti rava, 1 cup of jowar flour, a 1-inch piece of ginger, 4-5 dry Byadagi chilies, a handful of coriander leaves, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, a pinch of baking soda (optional), and salt to taste. Add enough water to achieve a smooth dosa batter consistency.

2. 2.Adjust Batter Consistency

   Pour the blended batter into a bowl. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water and mix well until it reaches the desired pouring consistency for dosas.

3. 3.Prepare Chutney Base

   Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot. Add 2 medium roughly chopped onions and 10-12 garlic cloves. Sauté until the onions turn translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then add 4-5 dry Byadagi chilies and 3 medium roughly chopped tomatoes. Continue to sauté until the tomatoes soften, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4.Add Remaining Chutney Ingredients and Blend

   Turn off the stove. Add a small piece of tamarind, a handful of coriander leaves, and 2-3 tablespoons of grated coconut (optional) to the pot. Let the mixture cool down completely. Once cooled, transfer all ingredients to a blender, add salt to taste, and blend into a smooth chutney. You can add a little water if needed for blending.

5. 5.Cook the Dosa

   Heat a dosa tawa over medium-high heat. Sprinkle some water on the tawa to check if it's hot enough; the water should sizzle and evaporate immediately. Wipe the tawa clean with a paper towel. Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the hot tawa and spread it evenly in a circular motion to form a thin dosa. Drizzle oil around the edges and over the dosa.

6. 6.Flip and Serve

   Cook the dosa until the edges turn golden brown and crisp, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly browned. Remove the cooked dosa from the tawa and serve hot with the prepared onion-tomato chutney.

7. 7.Repeat for More Dosas

   Wipe the tawa clean with a paper towel and sprinkle water again to cool it slightly before making the next dosa. Repeat the process until all batter is used.
