Dosa and Idli, the “Indian Pita”, are two basic dishes common in south India. Both Dosa and Idli are serverd for breakfast or any other light meal during the day. Dosa is actually a large, thin and crunchy crepe with a slightly sour taste and it is usually filled with some spicy vegetable puree and served with chutneys and Sambar (a thick lentil soup). Idli is actually prepared from the same batter but instead of being cooked as a crepe the Idlis are steamed and so the Idli is thicker and soft. Idli is served with practically everything… curry, sambar, chutney, podi (spice mix with oil) and many more.
