Heat a tawa on medium-high heat and grease it with oil. Add a large ladle of Dosa batter and spread it a little. It should still be thick like an uthappam. Once bubbles start to appear lightly on top, add some of the egg mixture and spread it around using a spoon. Drizzle gingelly oil around the edges. Cook for a minute and then flip it. Sprinkle onion, coriander leaves and lemon juice on top. Cook for another minute. Remove it from the tawa. Serve it on its own, or with any gravy or chutney.
