An egg dosa is a popular street-food favourite that transforms a standard fermented crepe into a protein-rich meal. The trick to getting the perfect texture is to crack the egg directly onto the spread-out dosa batter and whisk it right on the hot pan. This ensures the egg cooks evenly across the entire surface of the dosa, making it moist and savoury.
1 cup fermented dosa batter  2 fresh eggs  1 tsp finely chopped onions, green chillies, and fresh coriander  A pinch of salt and black pepper  1 tsp butter or oil
Pour a ladle of dosa batter onto a hot, seasoned griddle and spread it in a thin circular motion.
Crack the eggs directly into the centre of the dosa and use the back of a spoon to whisk the yolk and white together across the batter.
Sprinkle the chopped onions, chillies, coriander, salt, and pepper evenly over the egg layer and drizzle a little butter around the edges.
Cover with a lid for 1 minute to cook the egg through, then flip if you prefer it browned on both sides or roll it up immediately while soft.
