Set a tawa over high heat & let it get hot, sprinkle water once it gets hot to check the temperature, the water should sizzle & evaporate in few seconds.

Pour a ladle full of batter on the tawa & spread it into a dosa & add the topping evenly on the surface, press it gently so that it doesn’t fall off.
