Dosa (Rice and Urad Dal Crêpes)

A south Indian delicacy, savory dosas are thin savory pancakes made with a fermented batter of lentils and rice. These light and airy crêpes are silky smooth and delightfully thin, with a irresistible crispness on the outside. The light flavor of these crêpes are enhanced by the easy fermentation process, which gives the batter a heavenly sourdough-like sour and tangy flavor. Dosas are an ideal accompaniment to any variety of south Indian meals, and are often stuffed with potatoes or other vegetables, but they also can be served as they are with fresh chutney.
