How to make Dosa -Dosha – South Indian Breakfast :
7. Heat a flat tava/griddle/dosa kallu and grease it with a teaspoon of oil.
8. Pour a laddle full of dosa batter in the center and spread with back of laddle to a thin round.
9. Pour a tsp of ghee or oil over it, when it turns light golden brown, turn over to other side and remove with spatula when crisp.
8. Serve hot with Coconut Chutney or Sambar and Enjoy!

Notes :

• The rate of fermentation depends on the temperature of the surrounding. I usually keep it in the oven ( unheated, switched off and oven light on) You may also leave it near the stove. 
• Store the batter in a large container which gives it room to ferment and rise up.
• The batter can be kept in fridge and used for about 4-5 days. If the batter is refridgerated, keep it outside for 20 mins before using. 
• Cut onion may be used to wipe surface of griddle if batter is inclined to catch or stick to it.
• If you are living in cold country add a pinch of baking soda to the batter and then place the batter bowl inside the oven so that it ferments well.
