    You must cool down the tawa between dosas. [this is not clearly shown on video] Otherwise spreading the batter would be a tough thing. If you add batter to a tawa that is too hot, you will scramble the batter when you try to spread.
    1. Remove the done dosa.
    2. sprinkle a handful of water on the tawa to steam off the excess heat. when all the water is gone, pour a large spoon of batter, spread the batter, add some oil.
    3. raise the flame up to brown side 1. When side 1 is done, lower the flame, turnover the dosa.
    4. go to step 1.

    While "regular" dosai is made from fermented batter, this coconut dosai is made from unfermented batter. The advantage of the latter is that it minimizes stomach bloating, and gases. I would recommend grinding in a few cloves of garlic with the rice-urad mix. Garlic is a known curative for gas (flatulence). You can also use garlic in the coconut dosai mix.
