Onion Dosa Recipe

 Onion Dosa is a plain dosa recipe with finely chopped onion topping over the dosa which gives the plain dosa a very yummy taste and also it can be eaten plain without any side dish or serve with chutneys.

To make any dosa, the batter should be made in the right way and if the batter is not made properly and not fermented then the dosas do not come out exactly as the street style dosa.

To make dosa the gridle should be non stick or the base should be hard anodized to get perfectly round crispy dosas.

            This dosa is quite simple and all we need to do is have the batter ready to make dosa and then we just need to make the dosa and finally have some pyaz ka mixture ready to complete the recipe.

                      Adding onion mixture or carrot mixture or any chutney mixture onto the dosa gives a unique flavor to the recipe. I have already posted the article on how to make dosa batter and now the next would be making of the dosa with any kind of topping.

                 Dosa can be made in several varieties with varieties of toppings and this is a plain one with simple onion topping or if there is a chutney and shortage of onions then do skip the topping and just eat it plain with onion chutney .

I would love to update with several dosa or pan cake recipes as I keep updating my blog...

                 If one does not have time to make any side dish for dosa such as chutneys or sambar then the best way I suggest would be to make different toppings with onion mixture or carrot mixture or onion carrot mixture or with chutney spreads and top it up and can quickly pack it up in kids lunch box or for breakfast.

                           Below are the recipe details on how to make this delicious  dosa recipe which is a very simple breakfast recipe all across south indian region.
