Spread a spoon of oil on the dosa, and flip it. Roast the dosa on the other side too. Serve it warm with Rice and dal.

Notes: Bamboo shoots are available in Korean /chinese store/ Asian markets. Fresh bamboo shoots are bitter so needs to be soaked in water for two days for immediate use.  Cleaned bamboo shoots are preserved with salt for long term use, no water is added. Cleaned and cured bamboo shoots are also available. You will find them soaked in salt/vinegar water. They are ready to use in curries.
