What goes into it
These numbers are worked out from a typical restaurant recipe, with the generous oil, butter and cream restaurants use, so one restaurant's version may differ. This version uses:
- Rice (white, raw): 50 g
- Urad dal (raw): 20 g
- Potato: 100 g
- Onion: 30 g
- Cooking oil: 12 g
- Ghee: 5 g
It finishes at about 230 g once cooked. A restaurant dosa, roasted with oil and ghee; sambar and chutney are separate. Sharing it, or leaving the extra gravy, is the easiest way to eat less of the fat.
