SPICE ROOM's Kari Dosa is a Madurai-style crispy dosa layered with a beaten egg and spiced halal chicken kari. Gluten-free, halal. Available only at the Old Town Arvada location, daily after 12 PM. Contains eggs.

About This Dish

Kari Dosa is the crown jewel of Madurai street food — a crispy fermented rice-lentil dosa layered with a beaten egg, then topped with kari, a spicy minced-chicken curry seasoned with onion, ginger, garlic, fennel, and South Indian garam masala.

The contrast of crackling crepe, soft egg, and bold chicken kari is what makes this dosa a Tamil Nadu late-night legend. At SPICE ROOM Old Town Arvada, our chicken kari is halal-sourced. Served with sambar, coconut chutney, and tomato chutney. Contains eggs.
