Dosa Recipe
Dosa is a traditional and ever-popular South Indian breakfast dish made from a fermented rice and urad dal (black gram) batter. It’s spread thin on a hot griddle, creating a golden, savory, crispy crepe. Typically served with Coconut Chutney and Sambar, it's a wholesome and flavorful start to your day.
