Seasoning your tawa is an essential step. You need to clean the pan thoroughly, heat it, and oil on the surface.

The dosa batter should have a smooth, flowing consistency. It should neither be too thick nor too thin. This can save you from lots of uneven/creased dosa.

Before making dosas, you must heat the iron tawa on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes. Make sure the tawa is evenly hot.

Sprinkle a few drops of water on the heated tawa to check. If the water sizzles and evaporates immediately, the tawa is ready.

Once the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip the dosa. Patience is the key to perfect dosa.

You need to wipe the tawa with a damp cloth between dosas. This helps in controlling the temperature and eliminating extra particles on the pan.

A flat spatula is essential for spreading and flipping dosas. It is as crucial as the other steps.
