## Notes

* firstly, pour the dosa slightly thick else the dosa will not be puffy.

* also, blending leftover rice and adding to the batter will give restaurant style texture.

* furthermore, if you are unable to find idli rice then replace idli rice with dosa rice.

* additionally, you can add soda and sugar to get more holes in dosa and golden colour.

* finally, **steamed dosa / kal dosa** dosa tastes great when prepared with well-fermented batter.
