Learn how to make Dosa
Learn how to make the South Indian speciality Dosa in this Saturday's 2-hour cooking. 10th September, 10.30 am to 12.30 pm at Riverside Centre Kitchen in Lower Moutere.
Originating in the southern part of India, Dosa is a tasty gluten-free rice pancake that’s commonly eaten for breakfast. It gives the ideal kickstart to your day as it has the right amount of carbs and protein, minus saturated fats and sugars.
The thin batter-based pancake is made from a fermented batter predominantly consisting of lentils and rice. Its main ingredients are rice and black gram ground together in a fine, smooth batter with a dash of salt, then fermented. This makes Dosa a great option for those amongst us who are on a gluten-free diet!
Tutor Antonia was born and raised in Southern India. She will be teaching you how to make the classic Dosa from that region and then discuss some variations.
