Cooking indian dosa on the street. Andhra Pradesh, India

---

Dosa is a fermented crepe or pancake made from rice batter and black lentils. A thin layer of the batter is ladled onto a hot thava (griddle) greased with oil or clarified butter (ghee). It is spread out evenly with the base of a ladle to form a pancake. It is flipped to heat both crusts and removed from the griddle when the crust becomes dry. Dosa is served hot, either folded in half or rolled like a wrap.
