Making a Dosa
For more information and demonstration videos on using the DosaMaker,
please visit www.DosaMaker.com.
To make a dosa you will need:
• Dosa batter
• Cooking oil poured into a small bowl. We recommend using a
cooking oil with a higher smoking point, such as canola oil, vegetable
oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, or ghee (clarified butter).
• Paper towels
1. Place the DosaMaker on a level countertop, tabletop, or surface.
2. Select the desired temperature setting (1, 2, or 3).
3. Place the top cover (lid) in the Elevated Cooking Position by following the
procedure described on page 14.
4. Pre-heat the DosaMaker by plugging the power cord into the electrical
outlet. The Power Light will turn ON and illuminate RED. The DosaMaker
is now ON and the plates are being heated.
5. Once pre-heated, the Power Light will turn OFF and the Cooking Light
will flash GREEN. You are now ready to make dosas.
6. Carefully grasp the handles and open the top cover (lid).
7. Use the Oil Applicator to apply a thin coating of cooking oil to the top
and bottom cooking plates, as decribed on page 12.
Note:
If you prefer not to use oil when making your dosa you should
still apply a thin coating of oil to prepare the cooking plates. You can
then wipe the cooking plates again using a clean paper towel in the Oil
Applicator to remove the oil that was applied before making your dosa.
For more information about making a dosa with no or less oil, see the
“Cooking Tips” section.
8. Using the measuring cup, pour the desired amount of batter onto the
center of the bottom cooking plate. For information about how much
batter to use, see the “Cooking Tips” section.
To make a thinner dosa, use batter with a thinner consistency. To make a
thicker dosa, use batter with a thicker consistency.
9. Close the top cover (lid) by following the closing procedure described on
page 14. Set the timer to the desired cooking time.
Do not leave the
DosaMaker unattended during use
. For information about cooking
time, see the “Cooking Tips” section.
10. Once the desired cooking time has been reached, grasp the handles and
open the top cover (lid). Using the plastic spatula provided, remove the
dosa and place it on a plate.
CAUTION
– The dosa will be hot. Always
use the provided plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, tongs, or
tools as these can damage the non-stick coating on the cooking plates.
Note:
In some cases the cooked dosa will be attached to the top cooking
plate when opening the top cover (lid). If this occurs, use the plastic
spatula to gently slide the dosa off of the top cooking plate and onto the
bottom cooking plate before removing the dosa from the DosaMaker.
11. Using the Oil Applicator, wipe the top and bottom cooking plates to
remove any cooked dosa that may have adhered to the cooking plates
before making the next dosa. Repeat steps 7 to 11 to make additional dosas.
12. After using the DosaMaker, disconnect the power cord plug from the
electrical outlet.
