To make Dosa
- Take the batter and adjust the consistency with water.Heat a griddle and once it becomes hot ,add a drop of oil and wipe it off with a paper and keep the flame in medium.Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it to a circle as thin as possible.
- Let it cook for a minute.Drizzle a generous spoon of oil and cook it in a medium flame.Once the dosa gets cooked keep 2-3 tbs of green peas masala on top the dosa..
- The batter consistency is very important to get a nice dosa.If you are sure with consistency then do a trial dosa and adjust it.
- While pouring the batter on the griddle,the flame should in medium.Then only it will be easy to spread as thin as possible.
