- Use a large serving spoon that we usually use to serve rice. Stir the batter well and hold the bowl above the pan. Scoop some batter and start pouring from a height, starting from the corners to the inside and centre of the pan. Fill any large empty gaps with a drizzle of batter. Remember to keep the dosa thin!
- Drizzle a little oil over the dosa, cover with a lid and cook for a minute on medium-high.cooking oil
- Remove the lid and cook for another couple of mins or until you can flip it easily.
- Flip and cook the other side just for a few seconds. Flip again, fold and transfer to the serving container and keep them covered.
- Reduce the flame to lowest, wipe clean the pan with kitchen paper and get ready to repeat making the cucumber dosa with the remaining batter.
- Serve cucumber dosa with any chutney or chicken or mutton curry.
