Speaking to News18, Kanhaiya Sharma said, “I have been selling dosas for the last four years. I prepare dosas using high-quality oil to ensure the health and well-being of my customers. First, I buy urad dal, chickpeas, rice and fenugreek from the market. Then I make the dosa batter by grinding these ingredients in a blender at home.”

“Next, I finely chop onions, tomatoes and coriander and mix them into the dosa. I also prepare sambhar with different vegetables to accompany the dosa. I make sure that only quality spices are used which give the dosa a unique and delicious taste. Recently, I started adding butter and cheese to the dosas and this variation is very popular among the customers,” added Sharma.

Jai Maa Kaila Devi Dosa House offers a range of dosa options to suit every taste. The basic dosa, which is served plain and costs Rs 40, is always a crowd favorite.
