Tips for making cast iron dosa skillet into non-stick - No oven Cast iron seasoning tips
How to season and make cast iron pan like non stic? Or don't know how to season a dosa pan? These are my no fail tips for perfect dosa in cast iron pan. Make any dosa from crispy ghee roast to soft kallu dosa in cast iron tawa.
I find it easy to season regularly in my stove top. If you main and have a well seasoned pan, it is only 3 step process.
1. Add oil
2. Remove excess oil
3. Sprinkle water (see how hot the pan is)
Then simply pour the batter, make the desired dosa. Just need patience to wait until the dosa is ready to be removed.

After first dosa how do you cool down the tawa for the second dosa batter to not stick when spreading.Since it's a cast iron heat retains so how does it cool off fast.Do you apply water and is it good for tawa.

That's the reason to maintain the low temperature throughout. If you still feel the need to reduce temperature, sprinkle water and lower the temperature even more

Hi geervani, I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with cast iron tawa. I always make dosa in low to medium flame. Make sure the heat is evenly spread. Coat the pan nicely with oil before starting to pour dosa. Don't turn unless it is coming. Low flame, waiting and even heat is the key. Hope you give this a try 💕
