About This Dish

Kal Dosa is the everyday Tamil household dosa — a soft, slightly thicker griddle pancake made from the same fermented rice-lentil batter as a classic dosa, but cooked covered so it stays fluffy and pillowy rather than paper-crisp.

Its spongy texture is the perfect vehicle for soaking up sambar and chutneys, and it's especially popular with kids and anyone new to South Indian food. At SPICE ROOM Olde Town Arvada, served with sambar, coconut chutney, and tomato chutney. Vegan-friendly and naturally gluten-free.
