About Dosai

Dosai, also known as dosa, is a thin, crispy crepe originating from South Indian cuisine. Made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram), it is rich in carbohydrates and protein while being naturally gluten-free. Fermentation enhances its nutritional value by increasing digestibility and introducing beneficial probiotics. Typically cooked with minimal oil, dosai is a low-fat option that provides sustained energy and supports gut health. Depending on fillings or accompaniments, such as potato masala or chutneys, the nutritional profile can vary, adding fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, excessive oil or high-calorie sides like ghee or fried items can increase its fat content. A staple in Indian households, dosai is both versatile and nutritious, offering a combination of flavor and health benefits for those balancing indulgence and wellness.
