4. Add salt, and mix very well. 

5. Now heat an iron tawa, grease it with oil and spread a ladle of batter throughout the surface of tawa in simmer very carefully, since the watery batter can splutter while spreading.

NOTE:

-------------

1. You cannot spread the batter in tawa like the normal dosa batter since it is very watery. We should spread it like rava dosa. So don't worry about the shape. If you still want round shapes, place a ring stand on the iron tawa, and then pour the batter inside.

2. You can also prepare in nonstick tawa without oil.
