Its the Classic South Indian claim to fame dish..& yes, its correctly pronunced as 'Dosai' NOT Dosa (which is what the 'Northies' call it. ). We Southies (ooh can you sense the parochialism just OOOZING from my pores??) have made it a mission to ensure that where ever we settle down, we inevitably ensure that our homes are equipped with a dosa grinder (a table top chocolate conching machine) that stone grinds rice & urad lentils for the batter, call it the Kitchen Aid mixer equivalent if you will. traditionally the rice used for this dish is a special par boiled rice that is labeled & sold as 'idli rice' in the USA, but jasmine rice makes for a good substitute.
