Step 5
Heat Dosakkal (Dosa making Stone) and apply some Oil on the stone and pour the dosa batter and spread the batter in round shape.
Step 6
When dosa batter is cooked, apply some more oil or ghee on the dosa and about one big spoon Masala (which is already prepared and kept separately) and spread it on the Dosa.

After one or two minutes, fold the dosa and take it out from the Dosakkal and keep in a serving plate. The delicious masala dosa is ready. Serve with coconut chutney and sambar as accompaniment.
Tip
A well-seasoned cast iron or non-stick tawa makes all the difference. If the dosa sticks, your pan needs more seasoning or the temperature is too low.
