Method

Keep the old dosa batter ready in a bowl.

Heat oil in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds, add cumin seeds, chana dal/kadalai paruppu, urad dal, curry leaves and sauté until they start to change colour.

Now add the dry red chillies and sauté for few minutes.

Add the onions, green chillies, ginger, salt and sauté until they turn golden brown colour. Now switch off the stove.

Now pour the onion mixture to the dosa batter and mix really well. Adjust the amount of salt in the batter before making dosas.

Heat dosa tawa on medium high. Pour one or two ladle of batter on the hot tawa, starting from the middle to make a dosa. Drizzle  some oil around the edges and cook on both sides evenly.

Similarly make dosas with rest of the batter. Serve it hot, this thalicha dosa does not need any side dish but can be served with idli milagi podi or sambar.

Delicious thalicha dosa is ready.

Suggestions:

• Use only very sour and old batter to make this dosa, but after adding the onion mixture you will not notice any sourness and will be awesome.
• If you have capsicum, you can finely chop them and saute it along with the onions for added taste and flavour.
• If the batter is thin make it like dosa, if the batter is thick then you can make thick uthappams.
• Addition of more onions is very important, the more onions you add tastier the dosas will be.
