Masala dosa (Kannada: ಮಸಾಲೆ ದೋಸೆ, masāle dōse) is a dish of South India.[1] It is a type of dosa originating in the town of Udupi, Karnataka.[1][2][3] While there is variation in the recipe from town to town,[4] the basic recipe typically starts with a fermented batter of parboiled rice, poha, and various legumes (black gram, pigeon peas, chickpeas), and incorporates various spices for flavour, such as fenugreek and dry red chilli. Traditionally served with potato curry, chutneys, and sambar, it is a common breakfast item in South India,[5] though it can also be found in many other parts of the country[4][6] and overseas.[7][8] One common variant is the paper masala dosa, which is made with a thinner batter, resulting in a crisper, almost paper-thin final product.
