About This Dish
Plain Dosa is the foundational South Indian crepe — fermented rice and urad-dal batter spread paper-thin on a hot griddle until it turns shatteringly crisp and golden. No filling, no fuss; just the clean, slightly tangy flavor of the 24-hour fermented batter.
At SPICE ROOM Olde Town Arvada — the only SPICE ROOM with a dedicated South Indian menu — every Plain Dosa is made to order on a seasoned griddle and served with house-made sambar (lentil-vegetable stew), coconut chutney, and tomato chutney. Naturally vegetarian, gluten-free, and easy to make dairy-free on request.
