Dosa

main dishSpice level: mildsouthbudget

A crispy, golden crepe made from a fermented batter of rice and black lentils, the dosa is the quintessential South Indian breakfast staple enjoyed across the entire country. The batter is spread thin on a hot griddle to create a delicate, lacy crepe that can be served plain or with various fillings. Dosas are always accompanied by coconut chutney and sambar, a lentil-based vegetable stew.
