About This Dish

Onion Dosa is the comfort-food version of the South Indian classic — our crispy fermented rice-lentil crepe finished with a generous handful of finely chopped onions and green chilies that caramelize on the griddle as the dosa cooks.

The onions turn jammy-sweet, the chilies add a gentle kick, and the dosa stays shatter-crisp underneath. At SPICE ROOM Olde Town Arvada, served with sambar, coconut chutney, and tomato chutney. Vegan-friendly and naturally gluten-free.
