Dosa
Dosa is the comfort food of every South Indian. It is very simple and easy to make. All that's required is some rice and some urad dhal and some love for dosas. Don't underestimate this simplicity though. It's taste is incomparable.
The batter is prepared by soaking and grinding rice and the dal and mixing them in required proportions. Salt is also added as per requirement. Fermentation is then allowed to take place.
Once this is done, preparing the dosa is a piece of bread. A pan is kept on a stove and heated. And then the batter is poured on the heated tawa and swirled till it's thin. Some oil or ghee is then added along the circumference of the dosa. It is allowed to cook till it's golden. It is then turned and cooked for a while, and then served hot and crispy. It is best served with sambar and colourful chutneys.
For people with tight schedules, who do not have the time to prepare this batter, it is available in shops.
This simple, yet delicious dish is available in various types. Out of those, the most popular are podi dosa, set dosa, onion rava dosa, and Karnataka's masala dosa.
