Arrange similar batter coated slices in circular fashion surrounding the center one. Pour some batter along he edge to get the shape of dosa.
  • Drizzle some oil on it and cook covered for few minutes. Then carefully turn over and cook the other side. Once done, remove from the griddle and continue the process with rest of the batter.
