Heat a pan on a medium flame and add some oil. As the pan heats up, add chopped onions, a pinch of hing, salt, and chopped coriander to the batter. Mix well. For thin, crispy dosas, add more water (without making it runny); for soft dosas, leave the batter as is.

Once the pan is hot, pour a ladle of the batter and spread evenly in circular motions, starting from the center and moving outwards.

Add a tsp of oil around the edges of the dosa. When the edges turn golden, flip over and cook for a minute.
