Tips, food safety & substitutions
The tawa must be hot but not smoking — sprinkle water to test; it should sizzle and dry at once. Food safety: cook the egg layer until fully set. Allergens: contains egg. Substitute: use a thin chilla (besan pancake) as the base if dosa batter is not available. Nutrition is an estimate per serving.
