Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Capsicum Dosa
- For extra crispy dosas, use a well-seasoned cast iron tawa.
- Don't overcrowd the tawa; cook dosas in batches to ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
- If your dosa batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out to the desired consistency.
