India’s best dough
For thin-is-in bread lovers, think dosa, the bubbly South Asian confection that starts as a slightly fermented batter of rice and lentils and is spread into hyper-thin ovals before it’s cooked to desired crispness. More than a dozen varieties are available at the Annapurna restaurants, including an extra-brittle paper dosa. Indians love to stuff them with potatoes cooked with onions and spices (masala dosa) or serve them with chutney.
