FAQS
Can I prepare the dosa batter in advance?
No, it is recommended to prepare the dosa batter only when you are ready to cook to maintain its freshness.
What should I do if the dosa sticks to the pan?
If the dosa sticks to the pan, add a little semolina to the batter and try again.
Can I use regular rice instead of flattened rice?
