What's new

How many Pakistanis love to eat Masala Dosa?

Love the damn thing. Seen in weddings in Karachi(where people of taste live) quite often and available at certain Cafe's.
Prefer the good old variety with the potato filling, and the sambhar and idli.
New variations such as Chicken and Fish introduced by certain cafe's were generally just lacking. However, a Achari variety is also very good.

Tried having it the South Indian way with the darn thing leaking all over the place. it was a very messy affair. Decide to chop it up into smaller pieces to have as tiny sandwiches.

While studying abroad, convinced a Chennai based friend of mine to try a Nutella Dosa with bananas and cream. While she was happy to oblige with the dosa, she wasnt too convinced that it was still the dish since it felt more like a variation on crepe than the dish.

Also did a Spinach and Feta Dosa which was out of this world but no restaurant wants the idea.

Heard it for the first time though in abbottabad the saltish village has alot of Bengali dishes in menu.I don't know whether bengali can be considered as south indian or not
Bengali is East Indian. Nothing to do with South India.

Though gotta say I love South Indian food.

Masala Dosa for me, with Sambar of course.
There is this old restaurant in Karachi called Ponderosa, they did good South Indian food. Haven't been there in ages though.

Dosa is readily availabale.

Sambhar is just a modified channe wali dal.............
Naah ! Not really its quite different from chane wali dal....it differs from place to place ,some use drumsticks some don't.....but one thing i know is that i m hungry for a dosa now :D

man, not many things beat a fresh masala dosa in the morning.. one of the best breakfast foods there is, though for lunch/dinner I generally find it lacking (full masahari here, I like the meats, yo :P)

the chicken/mutton dosas are fake, that's not how it's supposed to be.. southy style aloo subzi/sambar/coconut chutney with my morning dosa only please :D

I don't think Masala Dosa will appeal all that much to Pakistanis. Nothing special in it really.

But I'd rather die than go through a month without without having either idly or dosa. My favorite is the Davangere Benne Masale Dose with chutney; generous dollops of butter thrown on the Masala dosa while it's made. Yummy!

I am much of an idli, vada, sambhar fan. The idli and vada soaked completely in the piping hot sambhar. Heavenly food. Especially from Shanti Sagar.

Chicken is usually served with Neer Dosa. A dosa made only from rice batter with coconut. It is a softer variety which goes very well with chicken curry. It is part of Mangalorean cuisine.

Another good dosa for chicken/meat is Appam. This is from the Kerala and consists of a soft centre and crispy edges. That is awesome with chicken/mutton stew.
