Did Your Dosa Get Stuck?

Watch the funny video. Don’t worry if your dosa gets stuck.

Here are five things you can do:

1. If you are using instant dosa mix, it is stick proof. Even a child will be able to get the dosa off the pan in a jiffy. But if it gets stuck you can add a bit more of the mix and make it thicker. This will help you easily flip the dosa.

2. If you are making dosa in the usual way, the long process of soaking, grinding and fermenting, add a few tbs of all round flour. It is better to add rice flour but you can add your regular flour. No problems. Dosa will come off in good healthy shape.

3. Dip the spatula in cooking oil. Pass it through the edges of the dosa. Slowly and gentlly relieve the dosa that is attached to the pan with ever lasting love . Then fold it in one sweep and flip it. You have done what the usual Indian parents do when they catch their daughters deep in love.

4. Cut an onion in the middle. Give the pan a nice massage with the onion and it will be ready to accept the next ladle full of dosa batter and be ready to let go of your dosa without a murmur.

5. Roll a tissue paper into a ball, dip it in water, squeeze it out and then rub the top of the pan.

If none of this works, post a comment here. And I will tell you what more you can try.
