Gotala Dosa
$14.99A flamboyant, messy masterpiece that is the ultimate tribute to street-food creativity. This isn’t just a dosa; it’s a flavor-packed chaos. A large, buttery rice-and-lentil crepe is prepared on a sizzling tawa, then topped with a rich, scrambled "gotala" mixture—a mashed blend of spicy potato bhaji, crunchy onions, tomatoes, and capsicum, all sautéed in a sea of Amul butter and pav bhaji masala.

Idly + Vada Sambhar
$9.99The "Best of Both Worlds" South Indian combo. This classic pairing brings together two feather-light, steamed Rice Idlis and one golden, crunchy Medu Vada. The idlis offer a soft, spongy texture that acts as a sponge for the broth, while the donut-shaped lentil vada provides a savory, spiced crunch and a rich, buttery finish.
South Indian Entrée
Idly Sambhar
$9.99The quintessential soul food of South India. This duo features three pillow-soft, feather-light steamed rice and lentil cakes (Idlis), naturally fermented to achieve a delicate, airy texture. They are served submerged in a piping hot bowl of aromatic Sambar—a complex, tangy lentil stew slow-cooked with drumsticks, pumpkin, and shallots, and tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a hint of hing (asafoetida).

Jini Dosa
$13.99The ultimate street-food sensation. This isn't just a dosa—it's a vibrant, open-faced celebration of flavors. A thin, fermented rice crepe is roasted on a flat griddle with a massive dollop of butter, then topped with a finely chopped medley of onions, capsicum, and cabbage. It’s seasoned with a zesty blend of Pav Bhaji masala, Schezwan sauce, and tomato ketchup, creating a tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet "Jini" glaze.

Masala Dosa
$12.99The undisputed gold standard of South Indian breakfast. A large, paper-thin, fermented rice and lentil crepe roasted on a sizzling griddle until it achieves a perfect, golden-amber crunch.
