Dosa
IndiaKolkata, Howrah Junction Railway Station
- Food Travel Log
- The night in Kolkata is chaos. Like a Toppo snack, people and cars are packed from end to end, weaving through the crowd. Crossing the gigantic Howrah Bridge, which also titles an Indian movie, I safely reached Howrah Station. I discovered a food court! Enjoying dosa, one of the staple foods, with colorful sauces and soups, I fell asleep on the sleeper train.

- Dosa is a thin, crepe-like South Indian dish made from fermented rice and black lentils, with a history so long that its existence is documented in texts from the 1st century BCE. Its presence in food courts is a testament to its popularity and widespread appeal. Particularly at transit hubs like Howrah Junction Railway Station, one can enjoy a diverse array of culinary offerings. Though dosa may appear simple, the perfect blend of its crispy exterior and soft interior creates a delightful texture, which is further enhanced by the accompaniment of sambar and coconut chutney. However, writing a blog post inspired merely by the momentum from crossing the Howrah Bridge to eat dosa showcases a talent for crafting articles as intriguingly thin as the dosa itself.
