In the morning, grind the mixture to a nice fine paste, keep it aside and let it ferment for a while. Now take the dosa batter, add some salt and mix it well. Take a wok, sprinkle few drops of water and rub it with the help of tissue paper. Now take a full spoon of Dosa batter and put it on the wok and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin pancake. Put few drops of oil on top of the dosa and around it and let it splatter for a while. Then add a generous portion of the masala and spread it onto the dosa and add few drops of ghee and a pinch of malgapodi powder. Finally, fold the dosa keeping the masala intact and serve hot along with coconut chutney.
