nice! so each time dosa is poured on the pan, you use the same cut onion to season it? I took 3 cups rice and 1.5 cups urad dal and fermented to make the dosa batter. it fermented really well. But, iron skillet gave 2 dosa's fine and after that dosa's started sticking to the skillet itself! :(

will try your onion tip.. plz advice if u know more about it.. thank you!

@vj0509 yes, after each dosa, i put a little oil on the skillet and season it with the same cut onion.

hope that helps!

Yes! Finally, somebody actually demonstrating pulling a dosa off an iron pan and talking about it in English too. I don't know how many dosa videos I've sat through with the cook using a non-stick pan, usually aluminum. There have been some really authentic videos, some shot in India, I'm sure where the skillet is iron or steel or even an open griddle. None of it non-stick. I'm ready to try the onion trick.

Thanks!

@pkskyutube the reason why dosa batter sticks to pan is as follows: Ans. Rice/ urid dhal combination is wrong. dosa batter consist of rice and urid dhal. try putting 65% rice to 35% urid dhal. sock it over night then blend it and keep it over night again . once it is risen,/ frothy add salt and pour it on a VERY HOT/slightly oiled pan. The dosa would simply lift up with a spatula. You can buy ready made Dosa batter from south indian grocery stores. You do not have to use the Onion trick.

Good tip with the onion use to season the griddle ..

Generally the trick is to use a well seasoned very hot griddle & it will be non stick..
