Using Cold Batter
Cold batter yields sticky, lumpy dosas. Always remember to let your batter sit for around 15-20 minutes before you start making dosas.Adding Excess Water
If the batter has too much water, it will not stay intact. Some types, like neer dosa, may require that. But regular dosas should be made using a slightly coarse batter.Wrong Greasing
Make sure that you add a sufficient amount of oil, butter or ghee, and spread it across the entire surface of the tawa. The tawa should be heated before you grease it.Not Drying Tawa
Never reuse a tawa without wiping it dry and removing any old food particles. Any such 'foreign' elements will create a problem later.Adding The Batter Late
You need to check the temperature of your tawa. If you let the tawa get too hot before adding the batter, it won't get spread in a circular shape.
