Note –

1.     I have used coconut oil to temper the tomato chutney. You may add regular cooking oil also.

3.     The button size podi idly tastes better. However you may choose to make regular size idlies and cut them into required sizes.

4.     Using a cast iron dosa tawa results in crispy dosa, hence it is preferred over non-stick tawa.
