What’s not to love about this veggie South Indian dish – well except for the preparation involved? Living in New York City, however, there is no need to struggle at home when you can find some of the best dosas around the corner. Once a common breakfast item in India, this dish is now eaten at all hours. A cheap eat and a scrumptious delight!
