When dosa got a fancy makeover…
Dosa is a type of thin, crisp, crepe-like pancake that is popular in South Indian cuisine. It is typically made from a batter of fermented rice and black lentils, and is often served with a variety of accompaniments, such as chutney, sambar, and coconut chutney. Dosa is a staple dish in South India, and is enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is also a popular street food and is widely available at restaurants and food stalls across India and in many other parts of the world.
For weekend breakfast, I planned to make avocado toast with eggs. I also had some leftover dosa batter & that’s when it struck me I should be making avocado egg cheese dosa. It was like dosa got a fancy makeover.
Turned out delicious & a perfect breakfast dish.
