Thattu Dosa


By niya's world (Visit website)





Thattu dosa, the traditional form of Kerala dosas were made popular to all and sundry by Thattu kadas, the street food sellers which are omnipresent in Kerala.

On the other hand, the Thattu kadas derived its name from the prominent ?dosa thattu? the large rectangular / circular dosa plate or thava prominent in the shops.

The thick, circular and steaming hot dosas with flowing spicy chutney / sambar offers an altogether pleasant change to normal snacking options. To cash in its popularity, even star hotels have replicated the thattu kadas in their restaurants.

What ever be the case, thattu dosa is one of the favourite snack today. For birthdays, celebrations, functions, thattu dosa is always an inevitable option. While the batter is same as for conventional dosa and thattu dosa, the difference is in the shape and size. These are thicker ( about 7.5 mm - varies from one to another) and about 4? in diameter. The street side shops has to cater to a crowd of hungry and time conscious customers and this way, they can satisfy more in a given time. This could be one of the reasons for making them thicker and smaller than the home variety.
