To burn it off
A dosa is a thin, crisp crepe made from a fermented batter of rice and black lentils. A masala dosa is filled with spiced potato, cooked with onion, mustard seeds and turmeric.
One is 380 kcal, with 55 g of carbs, 14 g of fat and 8 g of protein. The batter and the potato are the carbs, the oil or ghee on the griddle makes it crisp and brings the fat.
It comes with sambar and coconut chutney, and those count on top. The dosa is often longer than the plate, which is half the fun.
Tips
- 1Ask for it plain on the griddle, not a ghee roast.
- 2Fill up on the sambar, it's lighter than the chutney.
- 3Share one if you're ordering more, they're big.
