Add salt to the dosa batter in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
Heat a cast-iron or non-stick dosa tawa over medium heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water to check the heat—it should sizzle immediately.
Wipe the tawa clean with a kitchen towel or a sliced onion dipped in oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the centre of the hot tawa.
Using the back of the ladle, gently spread the batter in a continuous, outward circular motion to form a thin, even layer.
Immediately crack an egg directly over the centre of the dosa.
Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently break the yolk and spread the egg evenly across the batter's surface.
Before the egg sets completely, sprinkle a generous amount of dry lehsun chutney powder evenly over the top. (Optional: Add finely chopped green chillies or fresh coriander at this stage for extra crunch and colour).
Drizzle a teaspoon of oil or ghee over the egg and around the edges of the dosa.
Cook on medium heat until the egg is fully set and the edges of the dosa begin to lift naturally from the tawa.
Continue cooking until the underside turns a beautiful golden brown and is crispy.
Gently fold the dosa in half and slide it onto a plate.
Serve hot with fresh coconut chutney or piping hot sambar.

Always ensure your tawa is well-seasoned and set to medium heat before pouring the batter to achieve a perfect, even crispiness without sticking.
Adjust the heat by adjusting the quantity of dry lehsun chutney.
Can I use homemade dosa batter instead of ready-to-use?
Yes, homemade dosa batter works perfectly for this recipe. Just ensure it has the right consistency to spread thinly on the tawa.
What can I use as a substitute for dry lehsun chutney?
You can use any spicy chutney powder or even red chilli powder mixed with a bit of garlic powder as a substitute.
How do I prevent the dosa from sticking to the tawa?
Ensure your tawa is well-seasoned and preheated. Wiping it with a sliced onion dipped in oil can also help prevent sticking.
Can I make this dosa without eggs?
Yes, you can skip the egg layer and simply sprinkle the dry lehsun chutney over the dosa for a vegetarian version.
What other toppings can I add to this dosa?
You can add finely chopped green chillies, fresh coriander, or grated cheese for extra flavour and texture.
