Equipment

  • Non-stick dosa pan or cast iron tawa
  • Ladle for spreading batter
  • Flat spatula for flipping

Ingredients
 

Required Components:

  • 4 scoops (480 g) dosa batter - fermented, 1 scoop each dosa (see dosa batter recipe)
  • 4 large (240 g) eggs - room temperature, 1 egg per dosa

For Cooking:

  • 1 teaspoon (60 ml) oil - for cooking dosas, ¼ teaspoon per dosa 
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt - to add to batter

Instructions
 

Make the Easy Egg Dosa:

  • Heat the dosa pan or tawa on medium-high heat until hot. Sprinkle a few drops of water - they should sizzle immediately. Add ½ teaspoon salt to the 4 scoops dosa batter and mix well.
  • Take ¼ of an onion with the head and rub it all over the hot tawa surface to prevent sticking.

  • Take one scoop of 4 scoops dosa batter and pour in the center of the hot tawa. Quickly spread it outward in a circular motion to form a thin crepe. Keep the edges slightly thicker to contain the egg.

  • Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil around the edges. Crack 4 large eggs directly onto the center of the dosa. Using a spoon or spatula, break the yolk and spread the egg evenly across the entire surface of the dosa.

  • Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the egg is almost set. Carefully flip the entire dosa using a flat spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to set the egg completely.

Notes

Recipe Yield: This easy egg dosa recipe makes 4 dosas (2 servings of 2 dosas each, 60g batter per dosa) using the dosa batter recipe.
Component Recipe Required: You'll need to prepare the dosa batter using the dosa batter recipe before making this easy egg dosa.
Tips for Perfect Easy Egg Dosa: Keep the dosa edges slightly thicker to contain the egg. Don't flip too early - wait until the egg is almost set to prevent breaking. The key is getting the timing right for a crispy dosa with perfectly cooked eggs.
Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately while the dosa is crispy and hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite spicy chutney for the authentic South Indian experience.
