    Wheat flour             - 1 cup
    Jaggery (grated)      - 1/2 cup
    Water                       - as needed
    Ghee                        - as required
    Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
    Preparation
    • Add 1/2 cup of water to jaggery and melt it over low heat and filter it to remove impurities. 
    • Allow it to cool. Then take wheat flour, cardamom powder and melted jaggery in a bowl and mix well. Add more water to get a dosa batter consistency. The batter should neither be thick nor too thin.
    • Grease a pan or tawa with a little ghee in the center and heat it. Once the pan is hot, reduce the heat to low. 
    • Take the ladle of batter and pour it in the center of the pan and spread it in a circular motion. Do not spread too much. Make small dosas. 
    • Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of ghee around the dosa. Once the corners start lifting up, flip the dosa to the other side. The whole process has to be done on low heat.
    • Once cooked, remove from the pan and serve hot. You do not need any side dish for this dosa as it tastes good on its own.
    Useful tips:
    • This dosa should be taken slightly hot.
    • The colour of the dosa depends on the colour of the jaggery used.
    • You can use refined oil for making dosa instead of ghee.
    • If preferred, you can add grated coconut, few chopped cashew nuts and raisins to the batter to more delicious.
