Great tip, luckily this hasn’t happen to us so far…
But if it does, would we do this between every Dosa or just once in the beginning before starting?

Big fan of your site, but it’s annoying to see so many spelling mistakes all the time. You should consider using a spell check!

You can also use half an onion or potato and rub on the tawa.. Dosas will not stick…

Hetal, Anuja..Looks like the tawa you have is a cast iron tawa. I just bought one Paula Deen brand cast iron tawa too but the dosa stuck too it the first time I used it. It said it was pre-seasoned. How do I make sure the dosa does not stick to it (new cast iron tawa)?

It is available at Walmarts, Krogers etc and also at some of the Indian grocery stores. The one brand that comes to our mind is ‘Fleischmann’ , but a lot of stores have their own brands as well that are just as good. Look for yeast in the baking aisle and are available in bottles and little packets.

HI Anuja and Hetal,
Do you think it will be O.K. to use rice flour or dal flour for cleaning a cast iron griddle used for making dosas for gluten sensitive people?
Thanks

Hi Deepika,
This was one of those “mystery” tips that work even though we are not certain why. In such a case, we are not sure if it is the flour that is helping or something in the flour (in this case, wheat). Sorry couldn’t be of more help.

Hi Hetal and Deepika,
for gluten sensitive people you can always try the tips which i use-
1.Sprinkle salt over the tawa before making a dosa (make sure u don’t add more of it as it will be too salty)
2.Keep a half cut onion with you while making dosas and rub it on the heated tawa.Then make the dosa, it works wonders
3.sometimes dosas stick as the tawa is overheated, have a bowl of water(potable of course) and sprinkle some water over the tawa and then make the dosa.

Hi Pavithra,
No, just brush off the atta with a paper towel.

When you add the chapathi flour you say to “brush off the flour with a paper towel.” Are you removing all the flour or are you removing only the amount that does not stick to the pan?
Also, do you heat the flour in the tava on the stove?

Hi Mark,
We are brushing off all of the flour (or as much as possible with the paper towel). There should not be a lot of flour left when you heat the tava.

It doesn’t work for me. The tava still sticks. please suggest what can I do

Some people have mentioned that they dip a half cut onion in oil and rub it on the dosa tawa.
[Reply]
July 17th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
Here is how I do it and it works too.
Before the tawa is put on the stove, take some oil(1 tbsp) and pour it on the tawa. Take a small piece of paper towel and rub the oil pressing hard on the surface in a circular motion. There should be a thin layer of oil on the surface of the tawa. Now place the tawa on heat.
