Dosas/ Indian crepes are South Indian delicacy and a staple food in South India also a must-have breakfast for Deepavali. But I haven’t come across a single Indian who doesn’t like dosas. They are ridiculously delicious and can be enjoyed any time of the day – be it breakfast , lunch , dinner or mid day snack. Dosas are quite famous among the non – indians too . Restaurants worldwide have these beautiful Indian crepes on their menu and its very popular by everyone. They are made various ways and comes with  fillings too and are considered healthy and appetizing. A very light snack and easy to digest. Dosas can be served along with chutney and sambar. Goes well with a cup of coffee too. Yummy and enjoy cooking!!
Healthy Dosa / Pancake
The famous South Indian Dosa / Thosai is made with fermented batter of rice and urad dal. A good dosa should be spongy and crisp on the outside, and white and soft on the inside. Serve with coconut chutney and also goes well with chicken or mutton curry. Yummy yum!

It's the most common white rice found in Malaysia. May be marketed as Jasmine rice (without any aroma) abroad.
