South Indian Dosa Making Workshop, with Atina Foods

Join Suresh Pillai and Carrie Dashow of Atina Foods on this hands-on dosa-making workshop. What is a dosa? It’s a South Indian crepe made with rice and black beans naturally fermented with fenugreek. This delicious Indian staple is easy to digest and full of healthy protein. Carrie and Suresh’s dosas are small and manageable, and yummy. In this class they will be served with two kinds of chutneys (an Atina Food specialty) as well as coconut and local yogurt dip.

In this workshop you’ll learn how to make, ferment, and cook this rice and black bean Indian crepe and how to pair it. Take home your own dosa mix to practice at home.

This hands-on workshop is limited to 12 people.

Menu to include:

• Fresh dosa filled with cooked lentil paste (yellow split peas/ chickpeas) garnished with onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes
• Spicy Inji Puli (Ginger Tamarind Chutney)
• Yogurt Dip with Turmeric Ginger Chutney
