What's in USDA's dosa
USDA's plain dosa is a fermented rice and lentil batter cooked with vegetable oil (about 4% of the batter).
Per 100 g it also has 1.8 g of fiber.
What changes the number at home
- Oil or ghee on the tawa is the main difference between dosas. A ghee roast takes noticeably more. Each teaspoon adds about 41 kcal.
- A thin, crisp paper dosa can be large but light; a thick, soft one weighs more for the same width.
- Chutney and sambar are counted separately.
