Hey everyone! I recently took a cooking class in Varkala at Jairam Cafe and learned how to cook 6 dishes from South India and 3 dishes from North India. The chef, Dilip, took us through each step of his recipes and we got to enjoy the feast after.

The Complete Masala Dosa
- Heat up the skillet and evenly distribute oil so that the skillet is lightly greased
- Take a ladle full of the batter and slowly pour it into the middle
- Now slowly use the bottom of the ladle to gently move the batter towards the outer edges of the skillet in a circular motion
- Once you have a crepe-like shape and the batter looks almost cooked through, add 1 cup of the filling and drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil over the entire dosa
- Use a spatula and flip one half of the dosa over onto the other half, making a half-moon shape
- Flip the dosa onto the other side, cook for 1 minute, and take off heat
- Enjoy!
