The last whole month I posted only 2 recipes as I was busy on vacation and shooting some guests posts. I also started to do some video shoots so that its more easier to understand. These being my first video excuse me on the technical aspects though I have tried my level best to shoot how to make this dosa.

 This version uses an iron pan and if you are a beginner you may try with a non-stick kadai.
