Set Dosa
Description
Set Dosa is a popular South Indian breakfast dish known for its soft, fluffy texture and mild, slightly tangy flavor. Unlike the thin and crispy regular dosa, Set Dosa is smaller, thicker, and served in a set of three, hence the name. These dosas are fermented rice and urad dal (black gram) pancakes that are typically served with coconut chutney and vegetable sagu or kurma. The batter is mildly seasoned and naturally fermented, which gives it its characteristic porous and airy structure. Set Dosa is light on the stomach, making it perfect for breakfast or a comforting dinner
