Sri Ganesh Foods Dosa Batter
What it is
This is a pre-made batter for making dosas, a popular South Indian crepe. It is typically made from fermented rice and lentil batter, offering a convenient way to prepare this traditional dish at home. The fermentation process gives the batter its characteristic tangy flavor and light, airy texture when cooked. This product saves the time and effort of preparing the batter from scratch, which involves soaking, grinding, and fermenting ingredients.

Serve immediately with your favorite accompaniments like sambar or chutney. The batter is ready to cook without any further preparation.
