Interesting Informations about Indian Dosa

    2000 years back, South Indian people started preparing this 6 inch diameter food called DOSA, and DOSA was in the first position in the peoples Diet. It contains very little fat content and it is very tasty with perfect Chutney and it is easy to cook, which made it to survive for more than 2000 years. Dosa is now also one of the favorite dishes for breakfast in many sweet homes in South India.

On an Average,

DOSA: 80 Calories per DOSA

Dietitian will recommend you to run 1 Mile to burn 100 Cal of food. Calculate how much you should run (Work) if you are going to eat pizzas and burger… (At the same Time I am not a hater of pizzas and burgers...) you can have them, but you make it little.

 How many DOSA Varieties do you know..????  Five… Ten…Twenty… Hundred… Sorry.., There are 624 varieties of  DOSA’s… WoW ...

Says Principal Christ Catering College, Shaji Joseph, "We have been conducting a research programme for the last two years regarding the DOSA...” Research program.. phew.. Unbelievable …

And another information is that I got full marks in my English Lab Elocution, speaking about DOSA for ten minutes... This is one of the reason why I am writing about Dosa in my blog...

Next Time if you go to a hotel try to order Different types of DOSA and feel the taste or else.. Cook it in your house and be proud that you are cooking 2000 year old recipe… It will make you feel good..

Every time I Cook and eat DOSA, I feel proud, which makes the food tasty.. If you think the food is tasty... your digestion will take place smoothly...
