Onion Plain Dosa

Description

Onion Plain Dosa is a simple yet flavorful variation of the classic South Indian dosa, widely enjoyed across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. This dosa features finely chopped onions sprinkled over the batter while it cooks, adding a sweet and savory crunch to the otherwise plain, crisp crepe.

Made from fermented rice and urad dal batter, the dosa is spread thin on a hot griddle and topped with onions, along with optional ingredients like green chilies, curry leaves, or coriander. The onions caramelize slightly during cooking, giving the dosa a golden hue and rich aroma. It is usually served with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar.

Onion Plain Dosa is a staple in homes, roadside tiffin stalls, and restaurants, often chosen for breakfast or light dinner in cities like Coimbatore, Hyderabad, and by South Indian communities in Calgary, Brampton, and Ottawa.
