Instructions

  6. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the pan and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin crepe. Allow it to cook for a minute or until the bottom is lightly golden.
  7. Spread a tablespoon of butter on the dosa and sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on top.
  8. Place a generous portion of the potato masala in the center of the dosa.
