- How to proceed
- Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it using ¼ tsp of oil.
- Pour a spoonful of the batter on the tava (griddle) and move the spoon in a circular motion to make a 175 mm. (7”) round dosa.

- Place a portion of the stuffing in the centre of the dosa and fold over.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and stuffing to make 7 more dosas.

Notes
Do not keep the batter for too long as it becomes thicker making it difficult to spread.
