Hooked on Dosas


Lynnea's masala dosa at the fancy
Indian place
Lynnea loves dosas - a rice-flour based Indian pancake. She's allergic to gluten, so they are a great food option - and we really got hooked on them.

They can be very filling - the masala dosa is filled with a curried potato and onion mix.  We tried two Indian places in Siem Reap.
At the second place we went, there were a few dosas we didn't recognize, and the owner helpfully explained about them. Most places in town used a local rice-flour, which he said isn't the right flour to use. He imports his flour from India.



Dosa with the same flour mixture as the masala dosa, but
served like a big thick flat pancake. 


Unfortunately, the dosa Lynnea had was made with a semolina flour - which had gluten, we realized afterwards. So, in the end, we preferred the local rice-flour to his, even though the dosas at that place were amazing and very nicely made.

All the dosas come with a coconut curry and two other side curries - such fantastic flavor.
