Ingredients
- Dosa batter (2 cups)
- Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
- Tomato (1 medium, finely chopped)
- Green chili (1, finely chopped (adjust to taste))
- Ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
- Curry leaves (10-12 leaves, chopped)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dosa batter, chopped onion, tomato, green chili, grated ginger, curry leaves, coriander leaves, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Heat a non-stick dosa tawa or skillet over medium heat. Grease it lightly with oil to ensure the dosa does not stick.
- Pour a ladleful of the dosa batter onto the tawa and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin dosa, ensuring even thickness.
- Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

- Remove the dosa from the tawa and serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar for dipping.
