Make the dosa by placing a ladleful ( approximately 120 ml ) of batter on the centre. Spread evenly by circular rotations using the base of the ladle, starting from the centre and progressing outwards.

Sprinkle a few drops of ghee / oil (optional). Cover with a lid and cook on a medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes.
