It is safe to assume that dosa and idli are some of the most sought-after dishes in Indian cuisine. Healthy and comforting, we find these south Indian staples at almost every Indian restaurant. And, we love getting our hands messy when enjoying a hearty dosa. Scooping some of that flavourful potato mix with the crunchy dosa and finally dipping it in a hot and tangy sambar has to be the perfect way to enjoy the delicacy, right? While this might be the aptest way to enjoy dosa at home, we do have to follow certain etiquette when we are dining out, especially if it is a formal gathering. A food blogger has recently uploaded a video showing the ‘Correct way to eat a Masala Dosa’ and it has garnered some extreme opinions on the internet.
