Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Why soak red chillies?

Soaking softens them, making them easier to grind into a smooth chutney.

Can I use regular onions instead of shallots?

Yes, but shallots add a sweeter and deeper flavor to the chutney.

How fine should I chop onions and coriander?

Very fine, so they blend well into the dosa without overpowering it.

Should I whisk the eggs a lot?

Just until frothy; this helps spread them evenly on the dosa.

Can I prep the chutney in advance?

Yes, store it in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.

How do I know when to flip the dosa?

When the edges start lifting and the egg is slightly set.

Can I make this without chutney?

Yes, but the chutney adds the signature street-style flavor.

What’s the best tawa for dosa?

A cast-iron or non-stick tawa works best for even cooking

Can I use butter instead of ghee?

Yes, but ghee gives an authentic taste and aroma.

How do I prevent dosa from sticking?

Use a well-seasoned tawa and lightly grease it before pouring batter
