Dosa Party

If you are as big a Martha fan as I am, I am sure you read about Saravanaa Bhavan in New York City, on her blog a couple of weeks ago. Saravanna Bhavan is a very popular traditional vegetarian restaurant in India. This restaurant originated in Chennai (formerly known as Madras), India known for its traditional dishes such dosas, idlis (steam cooked rice-lentil cakes) and thali.  A dosa is a crepe made with rice and lentil batter, often served with sambar (lentil-vegetable stew), potato curry and coconut chutney. Many times, my weekend lunch entertaining revolves around dosas. I always have the batter ready in the fridge. If I am having non-vegeterian guests, I serve dosa with chicken korma. With vegetarian guests, I serve it with sambar, potato curry and coconut chutney. 

My book, Entertaining from an Ethnic Indian Kitchen, has one whole chapter about a Dosa Party, where it gives guidelines and recipes about how to entertain with dosas.
