4) Take a tawa (dosa tawa) and heat for 2 minutes.

5) Dip the vegetable slices in the thin batter and put the slices (about 10) on the tawa and add 1/2 spoon of oil.

6) Keep the stove on low flame (sim) for 3 to 4 minutes to get the slices cooked till they get a brownish golden colour. Turn the slices and let this happen on the other side for 2 minutes.
