Travel to Experience Funny Food

Did you ever eat or even seen this before ?
If not than time to pack you bags and travel to experience it

Paper Dosa

          Are you excited to know more about it & want to experience this unique food ? If yes than pack your bags and travel down to South of India.

         Though I have written used the words "Funny Food" above for the title of this column, but it is not at all a funny, infact this is a specialty food from South India and this authentic food is called Paper Dosa, yes you read it right "PAPER DOSA" there are many types of DOSA's just like : plain dosa or masala dosa, Plain & Masala dosa's is daily routine diet for & in every house of south Indian, you will see this in there kitchen, they cook and eat small home made dosa everyday specially in the breakfast. (off-course they don't cook and eat these long missile like dosa's at home.

          It is called paper dosa because it is so thin just like a paper and also it is made of just single layer (no multiple layers) It smells really amazing and balanced very well between softness & very crispy, taste wise you will feel really out of the world, it is simply delicious and looks very attractive, here I must mention that normal masala dosa or any normal size dosa are around 1 ft in length, but Paper Dosa's length size varies from 2 ft to 4 ft depends upon restaurants to restaurants in south of India, I am sure now you are really getting excited, attracted to eat it and experience this food of missile length in size heheheh. Paper Dosa is very popular with tourist due to its size, looks and taste off-course.

Inside view of Paper Dosa

          These days Dosa have many varieties some make with Potato inside some make with some other stuffing inside the Dosa, but my favorite and the real Paper Dosa is Plain Paper Dosa in this there is no stuffing inside, you will get this paper dosa in size of around 3 ft in length in South India. This thin layer of crispy dosa, seriously telling it is very tasty and at the same time fun to have this food on your table, at least for the first timers, but I still enjoyed whenever I visit south of India because this is the food you will never get anywhere else, besides that I also enjoyed the reactions of the tourist who are first times, its all make me happy as travel blogger to see tourist reactions and use those expressions and reactions into my articles and reviews :) anyways back to the topic Dosa or Dosai is one of the main diet for all south Indian states (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka) you will find Masala Dosa anywhere and everywhere In India easily weather you are in North India or west or east of India you will find everywhere in almost every restaurants etc. but if you want to eat the real "Paper Dosa" of 3ft to 4ft length than you need to pack your bags and travel down to South of India to Chennai in state of Tamil Nadu and experience this Attractive and Funny looking food. You will get Sambhar and also Coconut based chatani (Curry + coconut sauce) you can even enjoy sambhar curry as a hot soup it is authentic and very tasty.
