What’s up, guys? Today I want to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: I’m going compare the Indian dosa to the American pancake by making them both at home and trying them!

Indian dosas may look like pancakes, but they’re a little different. They’re made from a fermented batter of rice and lentils or semolina flour, while American pancakes are made from all-purpose flour. I’ll be making three variations of each!

To make my dosas, I got a tawa griddle. I had a regular non-stick pan for the pancakes.

For the dosas, I also had onions, limes to juice, cilantro, and jalapenos in place of green chilies. First, I chopped some onions, took some cilantro leaves, and cut a jalapeno and put them all in the blender. They made bright, green, watery paste. Then, I had to mix the batter!

I added one cup of batter to a bowl and then mixed in a cup and a half of water. Once it was mixed well, I had to let it sit for five minutes. After 5 minutes, I mixed the batter with my blended herbs and vegetables.

Next, you throw a bit of water on the tawa and butter it. This would be my plain dosa. I added the batter to the tawa and folded it. It wasn’t crispy enough, so I flipped it. It looked more like a sponge dosa, as it still wasn’t super crispy, but it takes lots of practice to make dosas properly!

Next was my veg dosa, which I added some pre-made potato curry to. My friends at Bollywood Masala made it for me! It smelled so good! I put the potato curry on top of the dosa and folded it over

Then, I did my surprise dosa! I was going to add Nutella to this one! They looked amazing!

Then, I started on my American pancakes. My dad taught me to make pancake batter in a blender to save time. I added a ¾ cup of water and 1 cup of pancake mix and blended it. There were lots of bubbles in the batter, which means fluffier pancakes!

I fried up my pancake with some butter and flipped it once it was full of bubbles. For the next pancake, I added chocolate chips to make it really chocolatey. Then, I made a Nutella pancake, which I learned from my grandmother. Then, once it was finished, I spread a bunch of Nutella down the middle and rolled it up into a cigar.

The pancakes were sweeter, while the dosas are more savory.

I started with the plain pancake with maple syrup. It was so decadent and took me back to my childhood. Next, I tried the plain dosa, which was savory and full of spices and jalapenos. It should have been less fluffy and crispier, but it was good for my first time. Then, I tried it with mint-coconut chutney, which was perfect!

Next, I went for the chocolate chip pancakes. It’s super decadent and is so sweet, it doesn’t need syrup. Then, I went with the veg dosa, which contained lots of spices. The aloo filling was great! It was a little too doughy for me, though.

Finally, I went with the Nutella pancake, which was incredible and fluffy and had Nutella oozing out of it. Then, I tried the Nutella dosa, which tasted almost identical to the pancake with the exception of the spices in the dosa.

Dosas in general are savory and take longer to make. They also require more ingredients and a special pan. The pancakes are a lot easier to make and are sweeter.
