Dosa is a popular South Indian dish that is loved for its crispy and savory qualities. It is a thin, crepe-like pancake made from a fermented batter of rice and lentils. Dosa is typically served with a variety of side dishes such as coconut chutney, sambar (a lentil-based stew), and potato masala.
The fermentation process gives dosa a unique flavor and texture, with a slightly tangy and fermented taste. The crispy exterior and soft interior create a delightful contrast in each bite. The versatility of dosa allows for endless variations, from plain dosa to masala dosa (filled with spiced potato filling) to cheese dosa and more.
Overall, dosa is highly praised for its delicious taste, crispy texture, and the ability to pair well with a variety of accompaniments. It is a favorite dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner among people of all ages.
Of course! Here's a traditional dosa recipe for you to try at home:
Ingredients: 1 cup rice 1/2 cup split black lentils (urad dal) 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds Salt to taste Oil for cooking
Instructions: Wash the rice and lentils separately, then soak them in water for 4-6 hours, along with the fenugreek seeds. Drain the water and grind the rice and lentils separately to a smooth consistency using a little water. The batter should be thick yet pourable. Mix both the rice and lentil batters together in a large bowl, add salt, and mix well. Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment in a warm place for 8-12 hours or overnight. The batter should double in volume and become slightly frothy. Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin, even layer. Drizzle some oil around the edges of the dosa and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip the dosa and cook the other side for a minute or until it is lightly golden. Serve the dosa hot with coconut chutney, sambar, and potato masala.

Read moreThis is a unique place at Durgapur for authentic South Indian foods. You can smell the South Indian test here. I visited for the first time on 13/11/23 and made up my mind to share good feedback. However, I had a doubt that the test that I got on 13/11, may be just by luck. To double check again I visited on 15/11/23 at this authentic South Indian restaurant run by a Bengali fellow. Just can say, awesome test! I was delighted with the food and I am very much confident now with the quality of all menus. However, I feel they should look into three things. Pest control, basically there are lots of mosquitos. They should arrange toilets for male and females. Currently no toilet here. Wash basin should be in separate area. It is very tough to accomodate in a narrow passage to wash hands. Strongly recommend to go and enjoy your first experience. One note for everyone, price will be increased very soon as mentioned by the restaurant staff. By the way the owner and the staff of this restaurant are polite and...
