Print this Recipe
Falling into the light meal and substantial snack category are a large array of crepes and pancakes. Made from a vast selection of whole grains and whole-grain flours, plain, spiced, or stuffed with every imaginable dry-cooked vegetable and some meat preparations, these crepe and pancake dishes are popular everywhere.
Belonging to this group are dosa, pudha, addai, chilla, uthapam, and many others. All these are panfried batters, yet they each have their own identity and a passionate following.
Dosas, a specialty of southern India, are by far the most popular and the most well-known outside of the Indian community. They are the savory, paper-thin, crispy rice and lentil crepes, sometimes about 18-inches long--especially the ones you get in restaurants. They often come with a spicy potato filling and with a side of coconut chutney and a sambar (a soupy south Indian lentil dish made with pigeon peas). All the others are basically stand-alones, to be served with one or more of the spicy Indian chutneys.
