So preparing dosa with brown rice is a good idea to make dosa even more nutritious. Here I am describing step by step process with pictures of this recipe, hope you will like it.

• Now with the help of a ladle (big spoon) pour the batter in the middle of the pan and spread it in a circular manner to make a thin crepe
  
• When you have spread the batter thin enough drizzle few drops of oil all over the dosa and also in the edges after a few minutes you will see that dosa is no longer soft and has started look cooked
