About Plain dosai

Plain Dosai, a staple of South Indian cuisine, is a thin, crispy crepe made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram). This traditional dish is renowned for its light texture and tangy flavor, created during the natural fermentation process. Dosai is typically served with accompaniments like sambar and coconut chutney, making it a balanced and satisfying meal. As a fermented food, Plain Dosai is rich in probiotics, promoting gut health. It provides essential nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and B vitamins from urad dal and rice. Additionally, it is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals. However, it is low in fiber and its carbohydrate content can be significant, which may not align with low-carb diets. When pan-fried in minimal oil, it remains a relatively low-calorie option, fitting into a variety of dietary preferences and health-conscious meal plans.
