Notes:
- Soaking kambu for longer time helps to grind into smooth batter,so minimum 4 hrs is required.
- This dosa batter ferment quickly than the normal dosa batter.
- This dosa turns into dark color quickly,so cook it on low flame to get even golden brown color.
- Mixing the batter with hands helps to ferment the batter quickly.
- I have used sesame oil for this dosa, it gives great flavor, but you can use any cooking oil
