- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour and arrowroot powder and mix thoroughly.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into the dry mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Slowly add water to the egg and flour mixture, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter without lumps.

Add the finely chopped onion, cumin seeds, salt, and optional green chili into the batter, mixing well to distribute evenly.
Step 5
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan and spread it out gently in a circular motion to form a thin layer.

Remove the dosa from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.
