Dosa with filling:

===========

Dosas taste best when they are made in an iron/Indalium tava than when made in non- stick.So if you have any of the above,make sure the tava is ready to make dosa.Refer to tips section.

• For this recipe make sure that the dosas are not too thin in the middle.
• Add 2 tsp of gingelly oil on and around the dosas.
• When it is cooked inside and the bottom side is roasted, add 2-3 tsp of filling and spread it across only on one half. and fold it.

Yummy and crispy dosas are ready.Serve with hot sambar and chutney.

Peanut chutney goes well with it..Enjoy!!!!!!!
