South Indian Dosa

JoJo Indian Cuisine

Wan Chai·$$

HKD128.00

Crispy crepe made from fermented rice batter, filled with potatoes, onions, and spices.

Tip: Dosa is popular at lunch and available as part of the brunch buffet. If going à la carte, pair it with another South Indian side like uppma.

Fried Idly

Woodlands

Tsim Sha Tsui·$

HKD40.00

Steamed rice cake, cut and shallow-fried with spiced potato.

Tip: If you spot't tried fried idly before, this is an excellent introduction. It's a lighter alternative to dosa but equally satisfying.

Sambar (with choice of vegetables)

Woodlands

Tsim Sha Tsui·$

HKD60.00

South Indian lentil vegetable stew with tamarind, spices, and seasonal vegetables.

Tip: Sambar is best ordered alongside dosa or rice. Most people share one sambar between 2-3 people. It's meant as an accompaniment, not a standalone dish.

Paper Dosa

Woodlands

Tsim Sha Tsui·$

HKD45.00

Crispy rice and lentil crepe, paper-thin and crackle when broken.

Tip: Paper dosa should be eaten immediately while still warm and crispy. Tear off pieces and dip into sambar and chutney. Most diners order 2 dosas per person.

Butter Dosa

Woodlands

Tsim Sha Tsui·$

HKD55.00

Cone-shaped dosa filled with spiced potato and served with ghee.

Tip: The butter (ghee) is an optional add-on that enriches the dosa. Some regulars order half butter, half plain for variety.
