Dosa
Dosa is a type of pancake from the Indian subcontinent, made from a fermented batter. Dosa is a typical part of the South Indian diet and popular all over the Indian subcontinent.
This South Indian specialty is somehow similar to a crepe in appearance but made with fermented rice and black lentils batter. Traditionally Dosa is served hot along with sambar (a spicy stewy preparation that can be used as dip and also spooned directly into your mouth)., stuffing of potatoes or paneer and peas hide on the inside (that is the “masala”) and it is served with an array of dips: chutneys (tomato and coconut are the standard ones)
There are many types of Dosa available like Masala dosa is a veggie treat, Mysore Masala is the spicier version of it. Sada (plain) is without filling, Paper dosa is a thin and crisp version. Rava dosa is made crispier using semolina. (suitable even for vegans in fact!)
