Step 1
Stir the 2 cups dosa batter with 0.5 tsp salt and 2 tbsp water until smooth and pourable, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Pour a ladleful of batter in the center and quickly spread it in a spiral outward to make a thin, large circle, about 12 inches.
Step 4
Drizzle 1 tbsp oil around the edges and cook until the top looks dry and the bottom turns golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Flip the dosa and cook the other side for 1 minute until lightly browned, then fold it in half and transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining batter, using 1 tbsp oil per dosa, to make 3 dosas total.
Step 7
Serve each dosa with 1/3 cup sambar, 2 tbsp coconut chutney, and a few slices of bell pepper on the side.
