“This classic South Indian dish offers a delightful blend of crispy texture, tangy-spicy flavours, and creamy richness.”

Dosai

Dosai, also spelled as "Dosa," is a popular South Indian dish that is enjoyed across India and around the world. It is a thin, crispy, and savoury crepe made from fermented rice and urad dal (black lentils) batter, like a pancake. To make dosai, the batter is prepared by soaking rice and urad dal in water for several hours, then blending and fermenting the mixture overnight. The fermented batter is then spread thinly and evenly on a heated griddle or tawa and cooked until crispy and golden brown.

Dosai can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as chutneys, sambar, and potato curry. It is a versatile dish that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and can be customized to suit individual tastes and preferences by adding different fillings or toppings. Dosai is a nutritious and easily digestible dish that is low in fat and calories. It is a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins, making it a popular food among athletes and health-conscious people.

Sambar and Chutney

Dosai with Sambar and Chutney is a classic and popular South Indian breakfast combination. Sambar is a lentil-based vegetable stew that is spicy and tangy in flavour. Chutney is a condiment made from coconut, spices, and herbs, and is typically served as a side dish to complement the flavours of the idly and sambar. The combination of Dosai, sambar, and chutney provides a complete and nutritious breakfast meal that is rich in proteins, vitamins, and other essential nutrients.

Together, dosa, sambar, and chutney create a satisfying and nutritious meal that is rich in protein, fibre, and other essential nutrients. The crispy texture of the dosa complements the tangy and spicy flavours of the sambar, while the creamy and flavourful chutney adds a balance of sweetness and heat to the dish. Dosa with sambar and chutney is a popular breakfast option in South India, but it can also be enjoyed as a snack or light meal at any time of the day. It is a must-try for anyone who loves South Indian cuisine or is looking to try something new and delicious.

There are many types of dosai, each with their own unique flavour and ingredients. Here are some popular types of dosai: Masala dosa, Egg masala dosa, Onion dosa, Rava dosa, Set dosa, Adai dosa, and Paper roast Dosa etc...

Dosai is similar to idly that both are made from fermented rice and lentil batter, while dosa is a thin, crispy crepe, idly is a soft, spongy cake. Usually, I just called Dosai or Dosa as “Universal Dish” because it can Combine with any dish such as Chicken gravy, Mutton chukka, Vegetable Soup, etc.

“It is a delicious South Indian breakfast gives a perfect balance of flavours. The thin and crispy crepe dosa, and spicy sambar, and flavourful chutney make for a satisfying and nutritious meal. Overall, it's a must-try for anyone who loves authentic South Indian cuisine. Try it and enjoy it.”
