Notes

  • You can make these dosas with leftover or newly made chapatis. Both can be used.
  • Adding toppings like finely chopped vegetables, grated cheese, or paneer can elevate the taste and appearance of the dosa. Remember to sprinkle them on the dosa just after spreading the batter, so they stick to it.
