Methi dosas are a popular South Indian breakfast dish that is loved for its health benefits and delicious taste. The dosas are made with a batter of soaked rice and fenugreek seeds, fermented for a few hours to enhance the nutritional value. Once fermented, the batter is cooked on a skillet to form crispy and golden-brown dosas. These dosas are served with coconut chutney, sambar, or tomato chutney to add flavor and nutrition. The methi dosas are a wholesome breakfast option that is perfect for people with dietary restrictions and health-conscious individuals.
