Step 6. Heat dosa tava(I used iron tava for this, medium flame). Pour a teaspoon of oil.
Step 7. When tava is hot, dip slices of ridge guard (around 15-20 slices) in batter and keep them on tava like arranging carrom pieces on tava (as shown in below pics). In the space between slices, drop around 1 teaspoon of batter to fill the gap..
Step 8. Pour 1 tspoon of oil on dosa, close lid for a minute.
Step 9. Open lid and cook the other side of dosa for a minute.
Step 10. Enjoy!
Tips:
Ridge Gourd should not be too matured and should not be bitter in taste.
