A typical Dosa. Each restaurant makes its own version.

About Dosa

Dosa is the everyday flatbread of South India: a thin crepe made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal, cooked on a hot griddle until crisp at the edges.

Regional versions

A plain dosa has no filling. Set dosa is small, soft and served in a stack, neer dosa from the coast is made with rice only, and ghee roast dosa is cooked in plenty of ghee until golden.

What to order with it

Eat it with sambar and chutneys. Chicken or mutton curry is common in Tamil and Kerala homes, and a filter coffee finishes the meal.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
