Chennai Masala Dosa

Specialising in dishes from the south-eastern city of Chennai, this family-run restaurant stands out from the mostly northern Indian cuisine found in the city. “We were the first restaurant in Spain to serve food from Chennai,” said waitress Amritha Rajkumar. Customers can opt for one of 25 varieties of dosa or try a little bit of everything with a thali, a typical Indian meal made up of a selection of curries, spicy sambar, rice and raita. The dosas are made from a rice flour and lentil batter—meaning they’re vegan and gluten-free—then stuffed with a variety of tasty fillings including mutton, prawns, paneer and mixed vegetables. Wash it all down with a refreshing mango lassi or fragrant masala chai.
