Dry roast fenugreek and cumin seeds and then make a coarse powder. Mix all the flours together and then add the finely cut onion and chopped coriander leaves. Add the coarse powder, salt and mix it well. Add water to get dosa consistency.

Heat the dosa tava and take a spoonful of batter and spread it on the tava. Dont make it too thin and dont spread it too thick, let it be medium. Now spread a little oil and close the tava with a lid till the pancake is brown on one side. Then turn on the other side and let it cook the same way on the other side as well. Take it out on a plate
