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.
- Flip the dosa carefully and cook the other side for an additional minute or until it is cooked through and slightly golden.
- Remove the dosa from the tawa and serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar for dipping.
Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the batter mix.
- Feel free to customize the spice level by adjusting the number of green chilies used.
- Kara Dosa can be enjoyed with various chutneys like mint or onion chutney for a twist.
