  2. 2 Heat a pan over medium heat and brush with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and spread it out gently and uniformly; the batter will not be smooth, so it will not be possible to spread it thinly. Cook dosa until golden brown on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
