7 – Add the baking soda and mix the batter for 15-20 seconds.

8 – To make the dosa, heat a cast iron skillet or a non stick tava on medium heat. To spread the dosa easily, we need to make sure the pan is not too hot. Drizzle some oil and wipe it off with a paper towel. Now sprinkle some water and wipe it off. Reduce the heat, take a ladle full of batter and pour the batter from the center and make a thin circle.

9 & 10 – Increase the heat to medium and cook for 20 seconds. Once the top gets little dry, add the oil and smother on the dosa with a spatula.

11 & 12- Cook till the sides and the bottom gets golden brown. Cook on medium flame to get crispy dosa, we don’t need to flip the dosa.
