Dosas are popular breakfast choice, specially in South India very similar to crepes and pancakes. They are nutritious, good source of carbohydrates, easy to digest and low in fat. The main ingredient used to make dosa batter is rice or rice flour. Then depending on the type of dosas, either lentil are used to ferment the batter or coconut and poha is used.
