03 March - World Dosa Day

 

March 3rd is being observed as World Dosa (Dosèy) Day.Dosa is a popular and versatile South Indian dish that has gained popularity worldwide. It is a type of thin, crepe-like pancake made from a fermented batter primarily consisting of rice and urad dal (black gram). The batter is soaked, ground, and fermented, resulting in a light and fluffy texture when cooked.

After fermentation, the batter is spread thinly on a hot griddle or flat pan and cooked until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Dosas can vary in size, thickness, and ingredients added to the batter.

Dosas are often served with a variety of accompaniments, such as coconut chutney, sambar (a lentil-based vegetable stew), and various types of sauces. There are also different types of dosas, including masala dosa (filled with a spiced potato mixture), rava dosa (made with semolina), and more.

Due to its popularity, dosa has become a widely enjoyed dish not only in South India but also in many other parts of the world. It is appreciated for its taste, texture, and the flexibility it offers in terms of fillings and accompaniments.
