Now you have a dosa in the shape of a full Moon.
You may do it as big as you can. But if you are doing it for first time do small circles.
Put some oil or ghee or butter around the circle and in the middle.
Let it cook on medium or low medium.
Once you see it is changing color and at the same time it is cooked on the top it is time to remove from the pan.
Slowly loosen up dosa from the pan starting from edges with the help of a stainless steel spatula.
Once it is loose from pan fold the dosa and put it in a plate.
Your plain dosa is ready.

Helpful Tips
Do not turn dosa to the other side if you want crispy dosa. Cook it one side only by adjusting the flame so that it cooks on both sides.
Do not put oil on the pan before you make dosa. You can't spread dosa easily. Just make a layer of oil by rubbing with a paper napkin with a few drops of oil on it.
If the pan is too hot you will not be able to spread dosa.
Health Information

Fenugreek seeds are good source of vitamins and minerals. So always use them in your dosa and idli batter.
Non stick pans release toxic fumes which you will be breathing while you cook. Cast iron pans are a good alternative over non stick pans.
