- 2 cups
- Eggs

- 2 tablespoons

- 2 tablespoons (for cooking)
- Coconut chutney
- for serving
- Sambar
- for serving
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a few drops of oil to coat the surface.
- Pour a ladle full of dosa batter in the center of the pan. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin, even dosa.
- Once the dosa begins to cook and the edges start to lift, crack an egg in the center and gently spread it over the surface of the dosa using a spatula.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the egg, then evenly distribute the chopped onions, green chilies, and coriander leaves on top.
- Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa and a little over the egg for added flavor and crispiness. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 1 minute, allowing the egg to set.
- Carefully flip the dosa to cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds, ensuring it remains crisp.
- Remove from the pan and serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar for dipping.
Tips
- For a spicier version, increase the amount of green chilies or add chopped ginger.
- You can add vegetables like grated carrots or spinach to the dosa batter for extra nutrition.
- If you prefer a thicker egg layer, use more eggs or adjust the cooking time accordingly.
