Dosa: A South Indian Delicacy


Some dishes are made as street food and some developed as street food, Dosa is one of those dishes. Popular houses hold delicacy, now famous for being a street food in Mumbai. Dosa is thin crush bread made from rice batter and lentils. A staple diet food in the many south Indian states such a Karnataka, Telangana,  Kerala, Tamilnadu  dish is now popular all across the country.  

Like many popular food items, the exact origin of Dosa is also untraceable, though historians found mention of Dosa in 1st AD.  Dosa has come a long way since then south Indian Dosa is one of the popular road side dishes apart from that for no apparent reason it emerged as the morning snack for people in Mumbai. 

Dosa comes in multiple verities such as Masala Dosa, Paper Dosa, Neer Dosa, Rava Dosa, Mysore Dosa are some of the traditional types of Dosa (now brace yourself to appreciate the magnanimity of the creative genius of street food chefs) other types of Dosas are Pav Bhaji Dosa, Chinese Dosa, Noodle Dosa, egg Dosa, Cheese Dosa, Manchurian Dosa, Paneer Dosa. The list is actually quit lengthy, but I think you’ve got the a gist of it.

Crispy delicious thin crust Dosa tastes spectacular with the tangy coconut chutney and sweet and sour Sambar. You may get this on any dosa cart this combination comprises all the necessary nutritional elements of diets, so in a way its quiet healthy actually. 


So which Dosa you like the most?
