After Idli this is the best item for early mornings.Simple as its name the taste isn't simple but great because you can keep having half a dozen of those depending on how nice its partner the coconut chutney has been made.The taste of dosa after all is complete only with the chutney.
The essence of any dosa are the number of holes it can produce.This may sound funny but it does and what Jaya made here is the way it has to be.Nicely and delicately prepared as it appears it should taste great.
