furthermore, dosas are my husbands favourite breakfast recipe. he loves to have variety of dosas. moreover, dosas and idlis are healthy when compared to all other breakfast recipes. we south indian prepare variety of dosas. so have a look at my dosa collections like tuppa dosa, oats dosa, rava dosa, mysore masala dosa, neer dosa, sandwhich dosa etc. i prepare dosas almost everyday as it is my husbands favourite.

plain dosas are healthy and complete breakfast menu. i am very specific with the texture of dosa. i love to have crispy, golden and hot dosa served rite from the griddle. plain dosas goes well with veg saagu and chutney. i usually prepare dosa on my cast iron tawa, as it gives rich colour and texture. however, if the batter is well fermented then even non stick tawa works great. you can use the same batter to prepare  onion uttappa recipe, ghee dosa recipe, tomlet recipe.

furthermore, to get perfect dosas, 3 things play a major role: tawa, batter and experience. so do not lose hope if you are doing it first time. you will also love to check my collection of chutney recipes especially, coconut chutney, channa dal chutney, ridge gourd chutney. also have a look at snake gourd chutney, tomato onion chutney, sweet potato chutney, peanut chutney, red chutney etc.
