Notes
- To make evenly spread chilla every time, it's important to have the pan at the right temperature. It should be on low heat when you are pouring and spreading the batter
- Between each chilla use a couple of wet paper towels to wipe the pan, allowing it to cool down. This gives you enough time to thinly spread the batter for your next chilla. If the pan is too hot, the batter may stick to the back of the spoon as you spread it, making it difficult to spread it thin and even
- Once you are done spreading the batter, increase the heat to medium and cook the dosa until the bottom starts to turn golden
