The Bay Area is a hub of sorts outside of India for really good, great even, and pretty darn authentic Indian food.
While I’m North Indian I get the occasional yearn for that Southern Indian grub and of all the incredible South Indian foods the Masala Dosa is my absolute favorite.
Masala dosa is a South Indian crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter, filled with spiced potato curry.
Much like other Indian delights this light and flaky, when done to perfection will be toasty and delicately crunchy concoction of masalas galore, the outer crepe jam packed with mashed potatoes and loaded with flavor is mouth watering perfection.
The potato filling is seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, and turmeric. It’s typically folded into a triangle or cylinder shape and eaten for breakfast or as a snack.
I’m full and need to drop some pounds, but just sharing here is making my mouth water.
While Vik’s Chaat House – the famous Berkeley staple has a pretty fine Dosa this one pictured here is from my hometown of Dublin, Ca Chaat Bhavan brings the DOSA.
And as if the Dosa weren’t enough the coconut chutney and sambar (a lentil soup) for dipping and whipping are the cherry on top.
