Cookd masalas for idli dosa batter
Method
Chop the onion, green chillies and coriander leaves finely. Stir the ready idli dosa batter gently. It should flow slowly from a ladle; add a little water only if it is too thick.
Heat a tawa on medium flame for 2 minutes. Sprinkle a few drops of water on it; they should sizzle and dry quickly.
Pour about half a cup of batter on the tawa and spread it into a thin dosa. Crack one egg over it and spread the egg with a spoon. Add one-fourth of the onion, green chilli, coriander leaves and topping salt, then drizzle 1.5 teaspoons oil around the edges. Cook on medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes until the egg is nearly set and the bottom is golden.
Flip the dosa and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. The egg must be firm with no wet part, and the dosa should have light brown spots.
Repeat with the remaining batter, eggs and toppings to make about 4 dosas, about 5 minutes each. Serve the Motte Dose hot with coconut chutney.
