Trivia
[Hardcore] Completely different from 'Tawa' (slightly concave center) for baking Chapati. Dosa-exclusive Tawa's absolute condition is being 'completely flat' and 'gigantic'. Indian diner kitchens enshrine giant Dosa Tawas exceeding 1m in diameter; cooks magically baking 1-meter giant Dosas sequentially is a masterpiece sight.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Usage] Place squeezed veg and spices on the piping hot Tawa after baking Dosa to fry briefly, making instant 'Tawa Sabzi (griddle-fried veg)' utilizing residual heat and oil umami!
