Heat a non-stick tawa or iron dosa tawa over medium flame.
Further pour a ladleful of the batter on a hot tawa.
spread it in a circular motion thin circle.
Sprinkle finely chopped onion and coriander leaves n some oil over it and gently press them using spatula. Also sprinkle some oil on side of the dosa.
If the dosa is not cooked from top, flip and cook both sides of dosa.
Slowly remove the dosa from ends.
and fold to triangle or shape of your choice.
Finally, serve hot dosa or pessarattu with urad dal chutney or coconut chutney.

Use cooked onion (sautéed) instead of raw onion if desired.
