About Dosa

Dosa is a thin, crispy pancake originating from South Indian cuisine, made from fermented rice and lentil batter. It is a staple in Indian households and is known for its light texture and savory flavor. Fermentation enhances the nutritional profile by promoting gut-friendly probiotics. Dosa is naturally low in fat and can be a good source of complex carbohydrates and protein, depending on the type of lentils used in the batter. It is often paired with chutneys and sambar, adding vitamins, minerals, and fiber from vegetables and spices. While dosa itself is relatively healthy, the oil used for cooking or rich fillings like cheese or heavy potato mixtures can add calories and fat. For a healthier option, minimize oil and opt for fillings like lightly spiced vegetables.
