Dosa is quintessential and staple diet of south India. SadaDosa and its varients have become popular all over India and gaining recognition all over the world, especially where there is a large Indian diaspora. The main reason for dosa’s popularity is its health benefits. It is consumable by diabetics and convalescing people, even by weight watchers because calories in dosa home made are lower than calories in dosasambhar from restaurants.
Dosa is a type of pancake made from parboiled rice and black gram. These are soaked for a few hours, ground to a batter and fermented overnight. Fermentation causes the breakdown of proteins and minerals making them easily absorbable to utilise the nutrition.
Dosas are easy to digest. This makes them the ideal food preparation for people with diabetes, weight loss seekers, and ailing and/or convalescing people.
