Dosa:
If Aloo Parathas are the north Indian dream breakfast, dosas rule the roost down south. Crispy crepes served with spicy lentil curry and chutneys of so many varieties! No yummier way to start the day.
Available in all shapes and sizes, the longest one in the world was made in Ahmedabad and measured a whopping 16.68 metres!
That’s like a four storey building!
A dosa is a thin pancake originating from South India, made from a fermented batter predominantly consisting of black gram and rice. The finely ground rice and gram are mixed with water and salt to form smooth batter which is then fermented. Dosas are a common dish in South Indian cuisine, but have become popular all over the Indian subcontinent. Dosas are served hot, often with chutney and sambar.
Dosas originated in South India; their exact birthplace in that region is a matter of conjecture. According to historian P. Thankappan Nair, dosa originated in the town of Udupi in present-day Karnataka
