- When you grind whole dosa batter, keep the batter in a pot for at least almost 12 hours for fermentation.
- When the dosa batter is being fermented, add sugar and salt to taste and stir it well with the use of your hands or whisk.
- Now take a dosa tawa or nonstick pan heat it and season it.
- Take a bowl and fill it with dosa batter and spread it on the dosa tawa or nonstick pan.
