Immediately spread the batter a little with the back of a laddle to give a round shape and the dosa will be little thicker than a normal dosa. Holes will appear here and there on the surface of the dosa.

Cover the dosa with a lid and cook on medium heat till the base of the dosa is cooked.

Drop little oil on the edges and flip the dosa carefully with a flat spatula and cook the other side. Do not make it golden colour.It should be soft and white.

Once cooked, immediately remove the dosa and transfer to a plate.
