What is a Dosa?
A Dosa is a South Indian Pancake made with fermented lentils, rice and spices. The batter is cooked in a pan, just like a traditional pancake. We then top ours with curry, rice, dal, chutney, chilli sauce, fermented and pickled vegetables.
​
Dosa are traditionally eaten for breakfast but can be eaten at any time of day, including lunch, dinner and for a snack.
Pancake
We make our pancake batter from fermented idli rice, powa rice and urad dal (black lentils). Fenugreek seeds and a pinch of salt are also added.
We soak them, grind them, and then leave the mixture to ferment, creating a unique savoury tasting batter.
Our Dosa are
Gluten-Free.

Curry
The traditional curry is a Sambar Curry from Southern India. We offer you this, and our own curry blends.
​
We use our own blend of spices, developed to our own taste.
Depending on what's in season and our suppliers, the fresh vegetables we use in our curries varies.
Dal, Rice & Chutney
We serve our Dosa with a golden Turmeric Dal, made with fresh turmeric and ginger.
​
We add even more flavour with our fragrant rice, using whole spices and curry leaves.
​
We add extra freshness with a coconut, lime & coriander chutney.
Ferments & Pickles
All the little extra toppings add a bit of zing, and flavour.
​
We ferment and pickle the veggies ourselves, including scrummy carrot & ginger.
​
Plus we ferment our own chilli sauce too. And when we're in the mood we make a scotch bonnet chilli sauce for the slightly more 'heat resistant' customers that we have.
