Enjoy them plain, or fill with cheese or your favourite savoury toppings for a satisfying meal that works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Ideal for busy days, family meals, and anyone looking for quick, wholesome, high-protein recipes with minimal ingredients.

Prepare your non-stick pan and pour a ladleful of batter in the centre and spread outwards in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Cook on medium–high heat until the edges start to brown
Drizzle oil around the edges to help lift the dosa.
