Egg - Use fresh room temperature eggs.
Salt and Pepper powder - For flavoring the dosa , you may use more cumin powder or red chilli flaks if you prefer more spice.
Vegetables - I am using finely chopped onions grated carrots and coriander leaves as toppings. You can also use more veggies if you prefer. Capsicum or even tomatoes
