Choosing a Non-Stick Dosa Tawa

1. Material: Look for a tawa made from high-quality non-stick materials. Popular options include aluminum with a non-stick coating, which heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly.

2. Size: Consider the size of the tawa based on the size of dosas you want to make. A larger tawa can make larger dosas, while a smaller one might be more manageable if you have limited space.

3. Handle: A sturdy, heat-resistant handle is essential. Some tawas come with removable handles for easier storage.

Using the Non-Stick Dosa Tawa

1. Preheat the Tawa: Heat the tawa over medium heat before adding any batter. This helps in even cooking.

2. Use Minimal Oil: Even though the tawa is non-stick, use a small amount of oil or ghee to lightly grease the surface. This helps achieve a crispier dosa and enhances flavor.

3. Spread the Batter Evenly: Pour a ladleful of dosa batter onto the tawa and quickly spread it in a circular motion to form a thin layer. A non-stick surface makes this process smoother.

4. Cook on Medium Heat: Cook the dosa until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown. Flip it if you like a more crispy texture on both sides.

5. Avoid Metal Utensils: To preserve the non-stick coating, use wooden or silicone spatulas instead of metal ones.
