Chana dal -2 tblsp

Toor dal - 2 tblsp

Hing - a pinch

Black peppercorn - 1 tsp

Jeera (cumin seeds) - 1/2 tsp

Salt as required.

Curry leaves  - few.

Method:

Break the above ingredients into nice rava.

Add 3 tblsp sour buttermilk.

Add grated coconut, salt, hing, curry leaves, chopped ginger and green chillies to the broken rava.

Prepare a thick batter by adding enough water along with the sour buttermilk.

Take a dosa pan and pour oil and heat.

Pour the batter on the oil.

Make a hole in the centre and pour oil.

Cover the dosa pan with a lid.

Keep on a slow fire.

After 5 minutes when the lower side is cooked to a reddish brown colour flip it on the other side.

Pour 2 tsp oil around.

You can also add chopped onion pieces to the batter.

The thavala dosai is hot and ready to be eaten with any chutney, sambar or pickle of your choice.
