Dosa is a popular food item in South India and Sri Lanka. It is a type of fermented crepe made from a batter of rice and lentils. The batter is typically left to ferment overnight, which gives the dosa its characteristic flavor and texture. Dosas can be served with a variety of different fillings and accompaniments, including vegetable curries, chutneys, and sambar. Some common varieties of dosa include plain dosa, masala dosa, and rava dosa.
Dosa is typically served as a breakfast item, but it can also be enjoyed as a snack or a light meal. It is considered a healthy and nutritious food due to the high protein and fiber content of the lentils and the fermentation process, which increases the bioavailability of the nutrients in the rice.
