Spicy dosa is prepared using Patrode dough. Patrode is one of the traditional dish from South Canara and Malnad. Patrode dough contain, raw rice, urid dal methi seeds and some spices like, coriander seeds, jeera, red chilly, tamarind and jaggery.
Onions, palak, dil leaves, cabbage or even brinjals can be added to this dough and prepare dosa.
I just wanted to try this dosa, didnot add any of the above said vegetables. Plain spicy dosa is nice to eat with butter, honey, ghee or jaggery.
Lets see the recipe now:

2. Keep a dosa pan/tava on the fire and heat. Sprinkle oil on the top of tava.
3. Clean it with kitchen tissue. Take a laddle of dough and spread around on the hot tava.
4. Sprinkle some oil on the dosa and cover it. Cook on medium and low flame.
6. Remove Spicy Dosa from the pan and serve adding little butter on the top.
7. Repeat the same with remaining dough.

Let the flame be low once the tava heated. Cleaning with a kitchen tissue on the tava helps to
be thinner. One must take care while turning dosa to the other side. Adding more/less jaggery is optional. Using more oil/ghee is optional.
