Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. On a well seasoned tawa (griddle) or a flat skillet spread the dosa batter and let it cook.

  3. Once the top side looks cooked and the batter has firmed up, add the required amount of pav bhaji on the center of the dosa.
  4. Spread the pav bhaji evenly on the dosa with a spoon or spatula.
  5. Sprinkle some finely chopped onions.
  6. Once the dosa gets browned from the bottom, then fold both the sides of the dosa.

  • You can add some finely chopped tomatoes, grated carrots or beets, finely chopped capsicum as toppings besides the onions.
