CLOSE & COOK

Close the top cover by rst moving the lid forward into the Elevated Cooking Position.
Next, slowly slide the top cover towards the rear of the appliance while maintaining the

weight of the top cover in your hands. It is important to support the top cover so it
does not slam or drop on to the bottom cooking plate.

CLOSE & COOK

Slowly lower the top cover towards the bottom cooking plate while keeping the top cover level, so
the Guide Post enters the Guide Post Slot. This will close your DosaMaker and spread the batter
on the bottom cooking plate. Set the timer for the desired cooking time based on your recipe.

It is very important that the top cover is level as you lower it. Allowing one hand to lower
faster than the other, or the front of the top cover to lower before the rear, will result in an
unevenly spread dosa.

For more information on how to close your DosaMaker, please review the Instruction Manual
and watch our videos at www.DosaMaker.com.

MAKE MORE OR WAIT

To make more dosas repeat steps 3-7. If you want to wait before making more dosas, place

your DosaMaker in the Elevated Cooking Position until you’re ready. Your DosaMaker
automatically controls the temperature of the cooking plates, so as long as the green light

is ashing you can make more dosas.

COOKING TIPS

www.DosaMaker.com

Welcome to The World of Dosa | 31

• Batters tend to separate. Always stir the batter before pouring into the measuring cup.

• The amount of batter to use depends on the size of the dosa you want to make. More batter will make a bigger dosa. Note:

Pouring too much batter can cause the batter to overow from the edge of the DosaMaker.

• To make your dosa thinner, use a thinner batter by adding water to the batter.

• To make your dosa thicker, use a thicker batter. When preparing the batter use less water, or if the batter is already made

and too thin, add more of the our you are using to make your batter (oat our, rice our, almond our, etc.).

• Cooking time depends on the batter recipe you are using and your desired level of crispness. Most dosas take between 2
minutes 30 seconds and 3 minutes to cook. If you open the lid and the dosa needs to cook more, simply close and allow to

cook for additional time.

• To make a crispier dosa or reduce cooking time, try increasing the temperature setting.

• If the batter bubbles a lot as soon as you pour it in the center of the bottom cooking plate, lower the temperature setting.

• If you want your dosa to be crispy on both sides, cook on one side for 2 minutes and then ip the dosa and cook for an

additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.

• If you want your dosa to be softer on top, cook for 2 minutes, open the lid, and place in the Elevated Cooking Position.
Continue to cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute with the lid in the Elevated Cooking Position.
