Dosai ( தோசை)

Neither too crispy nor too soft , this is how dosai made in Home is. That makes us eat two or more while the Hotel Dosai is enough and becomes nauseating if we eat more than one . The dosai Amma makes and we waiting with plate and hunger is common even when are getting older . Nothing can match the taste of Dosai and that too if made with a mother’s affection.
