I'm so glad i found this book. I have tried to make dosas for years but something was always missing in my attempts. This books walks you through the process very easily and the batter that you make can last up to a month in the fridge. Since I got this I always have batter made up and ready to go whenever the dosa urge strikes. You can also use the mix for perfect uttapam (pancakes). I have tried the chutneys (Yum) and vegan /vegetarian recipes and they all turned out perfectly and were delicious! --BYK

Years ago, I totally failed at making dosas. Now thanks to this great book and its easy to follow recipe, I’ve made three gorgeous batches and, oh! are they tasty. I've served dosas to guests and also made three of the yummy chutney recipes...and no leftovers! Any store has the basic ingredients. I've given away two copies of this book! It's a must have and the photos are gorgeous. --Ani Nyima

I now know how to make amazing dosas and I know how to make the stuff that goes with them that makes them so amazing. Thank you, authors. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am thoroughly enjoying eating extremely delicious, homemade South Indian food. --Vegirl
