5. Grease a non-stick flat pan / dosa tawa and heat it till smoky hot.
6. Drizzle few drops of water, set the flame to medium, pour a ladle full or ⅓ cup of batter and spread the batter evenly with the base of the ladle to get a 7 “ dosa.
7. Flip the dosa to the other side and toast it.
8. Flip it back, let it toast till crisp.
9. Add the vegetables, fold as desired.
10. Proceed to make more chana dosa.
11. Serve chana dosa hot with chutney or as it is.
