Cheese Dosa (Street Style)

Preparation

1. Finely chop 1 large onion and 1 large tomato. Also grate the cheese and keep aside.
2. Take the batter and with a spoon stir a few times. If the batter is refrigerated, then let it come to room temperature.
3. Heat a skillet or tawa. Grease it with oil. Make sure to use a well-seasoned skillet or tawa. Otherwise the dosa can stick to the skillet.
4. You can do this either with a cooking brush dipped in a bit of oil or with a small piece of kitchen napkin (paper or cotton) or a halved onion.
