5 unusual varieties of Dosa in Visakhapatnam that’ll blow your mind!

Bharatnatyam, Kanchipuram sarees, the Koh-i-Noor Diamond…South India has given the world a lot, but its most loved contribution is undoubtedly the deliciously divine Dosa! This savoury “Indian crepe” is said to have originated in Udipi (one of many theories), and one of the first recorded recipes for the dish in the 12th century went by the name “dosaka.” Today, this humble dish has far surpassed its beginnings and garnered fans across the world. As its fame multiplies, its list of names, too, continue to grow thanks to chefs experimenting with the dish to create new varieties. Take a look at some such unusual varieties of Dosa available in Visakhapatnam:
