## Equipment

- mixing bowl
- pan
- mixer jar
- dosa tawa

## Tips

- If you don't have fresh cream, you can mix the dough using just hot water.
- If you don't have a banana leaf, this is commonly replaced with other non-stick surfaces or greased parchment/foil in homes without leaf access.
- The garlic chutney paste may have small garlic pieces, which is beneficial for the taste.
- You can fry multiple rotis using two dosa tawas to save time.
