Etymology

From Kannada ದೋಸೆ (dōse).

Pronunciation

Noun

dosa (plural dosas)

  1. A type of thin south Indian pancake made from fermented lentils and rice blended with water, typically served with chutney or sambar.
    Eric dipped a piece of the dosa in the coconut chutney.
    The restaurant's dosas were truly atrocious, so I stopped going there.
    • 2008, Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger, Atlantic, published 2009, page 141:
      I carried the Mongoose's bags to the right carriage of the train, then went to a stall and bought a dosa, wrapped in paper, for him.
    • 2012, Meg Cotner, Food Lovers' Guide to Queens, Rowman & Littlefield, →ISBN, page 173:
      These condiments are provided as something for you to dip your dosa into. The dosa wrap itself has a slight tang to it, as it is a fermented bread made from rice and lentils, and is light and delicious.
    • 2013 June 14, Mary Jo Murphy, “Dosas, Big and Bigger”, in The New York Times‎, →ISSN:
      The dosas all came with coconut chutney and sambar, a lentil broth — good dipping condiments.
