FAQs

What makes corn dosa special?

Corn dosa is the perfect rendition of the traditional dosa. The beauty of corn dosa is that it can be prepared without fermentation! The sweetness of corn adds a unique taste and the texture of corn also enhances the crispiness of the corn dosa.

Is Corn Dosa a healthy option?

Yes, corn dosa can be a healthy meal option. Corn is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients such as vitamin B, iron, and magnesium. When combined with other ingredients like rice or lentils, it provides a balanced source of carbohydrates and protein. To make it healthier, you can use minimal oil for cooking and pair it with nutritious accompaniments like chutneys made from coconut, mint, or coriander, or sambar, which is rich in vegetables and lentils.

Can Corn Dosa be made gluten-free?

Absolutely! Corn dosa is naturally gluten-free when made with cornmeal or fresh corn without mixing wheat or other gluten-containing ingredients. However, it's essential to check that all additional ingredients, such as rice flour or spices, are not cross-contaminated with gluten if you're preparing it for someone with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. Always use dedicated gluten-free utensils and surfaces for preparation and cooking to ensure a completely gluten-free dish.
