This recipe was taught to me by a very good friend who cooked this for me one night. She invited me to her place to watch how it was made. I couldn’t  believe how simple it was! The same dear friend taught me the accompanying side dish- coconut chutney. This dish is a staple in Indian homes, and now it is in my home as well. Thank you, Deviya for sharing this with me.

If you are making thin dosas, spread out the batter on the pan. Wait for the ends to go brown and crispy, before scraping it and flipping. If you choose to make these a little thicker, this requires less oil but come out thicker. Fill the cookie cutter with a thin layer of batter. Cook until crispy on the side then flip.
