Instructions
Make Maavu (batter)

Make Dosas
- Heat a large tava or nonstick skillet to medium heat.
- Sprinkle a handful of dosa additions evenly over your pan (amount is up to your preference).
- Ladle ~1/2 cup of batter from an elevated height from your pan. Move ladle in swift and confident motion across the pan to achieve a lacy and hole-y dosa.
- Evenly drizzle 1/2 Tbs oil or ghee over the dosa.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and let dosa crisp and brown for 3-4 minutes. No need to flip the dosa -- just fold and serve. Enjoy with chutney or sambar.
