As my kids hesitate to eat veggies I sneak in some of their favorite food.Since dosa is their favorite I try to sneak the veggies as much as possible.

- Serve it with tomato chutney or spicy chutney.
- The batter consistency is very important to get a nice dosa.If you are sure with consistency then do a trial dosa and adjust it.
- Flip the dosa and cook it for a minute even if its cooked.
- While pouring the batter on the griddle,the flame should in medium,then increase the flame and cook it.
