Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Mint Paste

   Add 1 handful of washed mint leaves, a small piece of ginger, 3-4 cloves of garlic, 2 green chilies (adjust to taste), 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, and 1/4 tsp salt to a blender jar. Add a little water as needed and blend until a smooth paste is formed.

2. 2.Combine with Dosa Batter

   Pour the prepared smooth mint paste into the dosa batter (approximately 2 cups of batter, enough for 5 dosas). Mix thoroughly until the paste is evenly distributed and the batter turns a light green color.

3. 3.Heat and Grease the Tawa

   Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat. Once hot, add about 1 tsp of oil or ghee and spread it evenly across the surface using a tissue or cloth.

4. 4.Cook the Dosa

   Pour one ladleful of the mint dosa batter onto the hot tawa. Gently spread the batter in a circular motion from the center outwards to form a thin, round dosa. Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges of the dosa. Cook until the edges start to crisp and turn golden brown, and bubbles appear on the surface.

5. 5.Flip and Serve

   Carefully flip the dosa using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly browned on the other side. Fold the dosa in half and transfer it to a plate. Serve hot with coconut chutney or roasted gram dal chutney.
