Thosai / Dosai
Why you must eat itA batter of ground rice and urad dal, fermented overnight, spread thin on a hot flat griddle. The edges crisp and lift, and it comes out like a large, thin crêpe. The faintly sour pancake arrives with coconut chutney and a warm soup of lentils and vegetables (sambar). Tear it by hand and dip it in the chutney or sambar. Beyond plain there is "masala thosai," wrapped around spiced potato, and a version with an egg dropped onto the batter. Many shops are vegetarian and use no meat. Light and easy to digest, it is right for breakfast or a gap between heavily spiced dishes.
Thosai (dosa in North India) is a South Indian fermented-batter dish and a fixture of Singapore's Indian eateries. Little India has many all-day vegetarian houses, crowded in the morning for thosai and idli (steamed cakes). Because the batter is fermented, the sourness and thinness differ by shop. It is served straight off the griddle, best eaten piping hot with chutney. Many shops are vegetarian, which is part of the character. This stands for the area's plate rather than one named shop.
