Step 1
Mix crushed peanuts, red chili, urad dal powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and a drop of batter sizzles instantly.
Step 3
Pour 1/2 cup batter onto the skillet, spread it into a thin circle with the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Sprinkle a thick line of podi mixture down the center, press gently so it sticks to the dosa.
Step 5
Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, ~3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for 1 minute until golden.
Step 6
Fold in half and serve hot with chutney on the side.
