## Notes

* Firstly, if you use thick poha, soak it for at least 20 minutes.

* Also, blend the batter to a smooth paste, adding water if required.

* Additionally, the size of the dosa has to be small, or else it may break as it is very soft.

* Finally, **the set dosa recipe** is very light, so you can easily have 3 dosas.
