Heat the griddle [tawa], to check if the griddle has reached desired temperature, sprinkle few drops of water, it should immediately roll and evaporate. Lightly grease the griddle and pour one big scoop of the batter in the center like you make pancake and spread the batter in a circular motion to increase the size
In the event of spreading the batter you will see tiny holes which is very normal. Drizzle few drops of oil on the surface of the dosa.
When the surface looks no more runny, flip the dosa and cook for maybe a minute. Flip the dosa back and spread the potato filling and fold the dosa and cook for few seconds and they are ready to serve.
