Podi Dosa is a crispy South Indian dosa topped with a generous sprinkle of spicy, nutty chutney powder known as podi. The dosa is made using a fermented batter of rice and urad dal, giving it a slightly tangy taste and crisp edges. The podi adds a burst of heat, garlic flavour, and a slight crunch from roasted lentils and sesame seeds. Usually served with ghee or butter, it’s a flavour-packed breakfast that needs no side dish.
