Tips
1. Start with a well-fermented batter: The key to making delicious dosas is to use a well-fermented batter. Give it ample time to ferment overnight or up to 12 hours. This helps in achieving the perfect texture and taste.
2. Perfect the spreading technique: A thin and even dosa is a delight to eat. Master the art of spreading the batter on the hot tawa (griddle) in a circular motion. Use the back of a ladle to spread the batter to make it thin and crispy.
3. Cooking on medium-high heat: Cook the dosa on medium-high heat. This helps in achieving a crispy texture while ensuring it cooks evenly. Flip it once the edges turn golden brown and cook for a few more seconds on the other side.
4. Experiment with fillings: While the traditional masala dosa with potato filling is popular, don't be afraid to get creative. Try different fillings like paneer, spinach, cheese, or even fusion options like Mexican-inspired fillings.
5. Serve with chutneys and sambar: Dosa is best enjoyed with a variety of accompaniments. Serve it with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, and a flavorful sambar to enhance the overall taste.
