Dosa can any day top the list of the most loved Indian dishes. Commonly eaten in the southern part of India, Dosa has become synonymous with South Indian food. It is now enjoyed in not only the southern states but has gained popularity across the country.
Apart from its lip-smacking taste, Dosa is even healthier than other fried South Indian dishes like vada and is also easy to make. Moreover, Dosa can be prepared in various ways like Masala Dosa, Plain Dosa, Cheese Dosa and many more. Although rice is widely used to make the Dosa batter, one also has the flexibility of using Rava or semolina.
Using Rava not only brings out a different variation of Dosa but also makes it even healthier than the rice alternative. Experts suggest that Rava contains essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc and phosphorus that helps in better functioning of our nervous system. Moreover, it also contains a significant amount of selenium which boosts our immune system and keeps infections at bay.
