How to make Restaurant style Dosai @ home?

Kids, most of them, prefers Dosas than Idlis, and that too Restaurant Style Dosas.

In some houses, they keep separate Tawa for Dosa and separate tawa for Chappati.

By following this trick, there will be no need for 2 different tawas.

We can  easily prepare at our kitchen, using regular normal Dosa Tawa ( not non-stick).

Heat the tawa. Add a few drops of oil over it and rub the oil using Tamarind. We can use Fork for holding the tamarind, to rub the oil on Tawa, because the tawa will be very hot.

Pour the Dosa batter and make dosas.

Using Tamarind, on Dosa tawa is the trick, to get Restaurant Style Dosa. We can reuse this tamarind in Sambhar, or Thogaiyal etc. 

Note:- Instead of tamarind, we can use small onions too. (Some peope won't like onion smell).
