    Inspiration

    My co-sis once told about this dosa that she gets in their favorite hangout spot in Mumbai.

    Later she sent me a picture of the dosa too. I was asking her the name of the food stall they get this garlic cheese dosa.

    I searched for this dosa in Instagram and found few pictures similar to that of the one she sent me through whatsapp.

    Nostalgia

    I am a dosa lover right from my childhood days. Rather I would say a a spoilt brat, who doesn’t  like to have idli, so mom makes dosai just for me.

    The oil, naturally a chekku ennai (cold pressed peanut oil) from local shop we used to buy, added a great flavour to dosas.

    I used to miss that flavour when I started cooking and kept wondering what is that thing, that made ammas dosai so flavoutful?

    Never thought oil can do such an important part in the flaovur. I thought could be the local grown grains or the magic, love and affection as well.

    But recently only found oil also one of the factor adding flavours.

    Even though amma haven’t made these fancy dosais for me, she sure took time to satisfy tastebuds with what ever she could do amidst her busy, tiring day.

    So coming to today’s post, it was quite tempting to see and hear about it from my co sis. So wanted to try and recreate at home. You can use easy melting cheese of your choice too.

    Top tips

    • I used the big variety garlic to make sure peeling and chopping are easy. If using the Indian small variety, it takes more time to get peeled (either way by the shaking method or manually, it takes time)
    • The chopped garlic should be fine and approximately evenly chopped.
    • Always cook in medium flame to get crispy golden fried garlic. If cooked in high flame, it may not be staying crispy. Make sure to add enough oil for the garlic to get fried evenly.
    • For making perfect dosa, always smooth the batter well by adding little water and mixing well.
    • Always spread dosa in the pan first and then drizzle oil. Adding oil first and then spreading dosa will not give even thickness dosa.
