Set Dosa

description Set Dosa Overview

Set Dosa is a South Indian breakfast item consisting of a set of two or three small, thick, soft dosas served together on a single plate. Made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (black gram), it produces a spongy, slightly tangy pancake with a pale golden surface and minimal crispness. The batter is similar to that used for regular dosa and idli but yields a thicker result. Set dosa is commonly served with coconut chutney, vegetable saagu, and sambar in Karnataka-style restaurants and homes.
