Masala Dosa is the quintessential South Indian comfort food: a thin, fermented crepe made from rice and black lentil batter, fried on a griddle until crisp and golden. The masala refers to the spiced potato filling inside, usually tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and turmeric. In Chennai, a true dosa must be served with a trio of fresh chutneys and a piping hot bowl of sambar. Expect to pay a small amount at a traditional tiffin center for this filling meal. The local gold standard is a simple ghee roast where the crepe is fried in clarified butter for maximum crunch.
