Dosa: according to Wikipedia is a fermented crepe or pancake made from rice batter and black lentils, and is a staple dish of Southern India.
Dosa according to me: A delicious thin crepe like pancake that can be stuffed with what your heart (and stomach) desires and eaten with yourhands (yes hands).
We always do the brunch thing; however our friends had sugested we switch it up a bit and eat Dosas instead. Now, I can honesly say I have never thought of this as a Sunday outing, but what a great idea it was. We went to their favorite spot near Journal Square (Jersey City, NJ) called Dosa Hut
http://dosahutnj.com/ And as the name says it; it does look like a hut or a hole in the wall kind of place.
We quickly sat down and started the ordering process. We ordered Poori to start with, and let me tell you; I had poori before, but never with chole and raw onions. Poori is a fried bread, to be said simply, and the slight crunchiness of the bread, paired with the tenderness of the dough, with the flavor of the raw onions and the flavor-packed chickpeas was EXPLOSIVE!
We then moved on to our Dosas; we only ordered 3 because theyare so large and really stuffed that they fill you up quickly. Every single one from the Spianch and potato with cheese one to the curry vegetables one were to die! I cannot wait until our next trip to the Dosa Hut.
Oh before I forget, if you are still looking forthat last piece of something, such as dessert walk down 1.5 block and order a "Milk Ice Cream Pop" from the corner ice cream shop, you will not regreat it!
So are you ready & willing to get your hands dirty? I am!
