Dosa is a type of Indian food made from fermented batter of rice and lentils. It is a popular breakfast dish in South India, but can also be eaten as a snack or a main course. The batter is spread thinly on a hot griddle and cooked until crispy. It is typically served with chutneys and sambar (a lentil-based stew). Dosa can also be filled with various types of fillings, such as potatoes, onions, or paneer, and are known as masala dosa. It is a staple of South Indian cuisine and also very popular in other parts of the India and world.
