4. The next day, check the batter; make sure that the batter has fermented (notice increase in volume).
Wait till fermentation which depends on the weather conditions. When it is ready to be used, add some water if too thick and mix so that it is of a pouring consistency.
5. Heat the tava/griddle on medium-high heat . While pouring the batter bring back to medium.
6. Put little oil/ghee or butter and wipe with paper towel. Pour the a laddle full of dose batter and spread in circualr motion. Pour a little oil (about 1/2 teaspoon) all around the crepe and on the centre as well. Let it cook for about min or untill the edges of dose leaves the tava.

7. Then lower the heat and spread approximately 1 tablespoon of onion chutney evenly all over the dosa. Carefully place 2 tablespoons of simple potato sabji in the centre, fold the the dosa at the middle.
