Some people have mentioned that they dip a half cut onion in oil and rub it on the dosa tawa.

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.

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.

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?
