Dosa
Also called: dosa, masala dosa, plain dosa, dose
A fermented rice-and-lentil crepe — light and easier to digest than plain batter.
How Dosa affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Vata. |
| Pitta | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Kapha. |
When to go easy
The ferment is mildly souring and it is griddled in oil, so it can nudge Pitta.
