I loveee dosas a lot.. Whenever i go to restaurants, i never fail to order dosa.. My mom makes varieties of dosa @home to make us eat more. I too follow the same technique for my husband to have more dosas...
       Last week, i conducted a mini dosa mela at home:)Yup,I made 4 +1 dosas and dosa upma .I made 2-3 dosas in each variety..
So here are the dosa varieties,

COCONUT DOSA

Ingredients:

• Idli / Dosa batter – 1 cup
• Grated Coconut – 1/2 cup
• Oil – to sprinkle

How to make:

• Heat dosa tawa by greasing with oil and pour a ladleful of batter.
• Spread a little.Don’t make it too thin, at the same time not like uthappam.Thickness should be in between.
• Now sprinkle the grated coconut and pour little oil/ghee around the dosa and cook for a min.

PAPER ROAST

Grease the tawa with little oil .Take a ladleful of batter and pour it on the hot tawa.Spread it as much as possible and make it thin.Drizzle little oil around it.Keep in flame high and leave it for 1 min.Sides will rise.By this time, u can see the other side of dosa becoming golden brown and the dosa will be cooked completely on both sides(No need to cover it).Now flip the dosa.Keep it for a second and serve it!!
