I personally recommend using the set dosa or the batter which yields soft dosa. having said that it can also be used for thin and crisp dosa too. secondly, you can use the same kara chutney as a side dish too and can be served with idli, upma or pongal. moreover, you can control the spice level accordingly by increasing or decreasing the red chillies. finally, apply the chutney on top dosa, only after it has turned dry. do not apply when the batter is still wet and it may eventually lose its shape.
