When bottom turn golden brown(you can find in my picture).Fold the crepe in half golden side out and take out. Oiling the griddle each time. Serve hot. Now if you want to make a Masala dosa Place the filling in the center and fold as pan roll. If you spill little grated cheese over the pancake with the filling it is very extremely tasty my wife’s favorite.

I lived in Tamil Nadu, Madurai for 6 months with an Indian family. I would kill for my host mom's masala dosa.... and the idlies with coconut and chili chutney! ooohhh.... you are a lucky man to be able to eat these regularly! The dosa gets my vote!
