Now add in the soda bicarb, onions and green chilies. (As personal preference: You may also add chopped tomato- without the pulp)I have added a small tomato chopped
Give the batter a quick mix. In a pan heat 2 tbsp oil. (You may use less oil if using a non stick pan)
When hot, pour in a ladle full of batter and swirl the pan to spread the dosas around. If your batter is thicker, add water to make it thinner. Drizzle oil from corners of the dosa
Cook for 1 -2 minutes on one side and flip. Cook a few minutes on the other side. Remove from heat and serve with chutney, pickle or tomato sauce. Be careful while removing the dosa from pan, make sure it doesn't tear.
