- To prepare the dosa:
- Heat the skillet on the medium high heat. Once it is hot enough, reduce the heat to medium. Spray some oil on the skillet, pour a ladle of batter and circle it from the center to make a dosa. Put oil on top, and if you would like, sprinkle some flaxseed chutney powder on top. Cover the lid for few seconds.
