  3. Leave this batter to ferment for another 6 to 7 hours.
  4. When ready to make dosa, heat a pan and pour a ladleful of the batter onto to the centre of the pan. Spread the batter around the pan by spreading it in clockwise direction until it forms a nice circle. Drizzle a little oil around the dosa edges. Cook for a minute or two, and then turn over and cook on the other side. Take out the dosa on to a plate.
