Dosa Kitchen by Nash Patel and Leda Scheintaub
July 25, 2018 by JennyEvery day millions of South Indians eat a light, crisp crepe
made of rice and lentils with or without an endless number of
various fillings. These crepes are called dosas and are attractive
to many with dietary restrictions as they are gluten-free and
dairy-free with the added benefits obtained from being a fermented
product. The varieties of savory or sweet fillings make them
desirable to vegetarians, vegans and carnivores alike.
The Dosa Kitchen, a Vermont food truck launched
in 2014 by Nash Patel and Leda Scheintaub, has made this sour,
delicious staple a hot commodity in Brattleboro. From their kitchen
on wheels, they share their love for farm-to-table food via the
dosa with locals and tourists alike that line up to try their
food.
Thanks to Nash and Leda, the dosa is no longer confined to urban cities with Indian restaurants or to the homes of Indian cooks. Their debut cookbook (and first cookbook devoted to this Indian staple) Dosa Kitchen: Recipes for India’s Favorite Street Food makes the dosa available to us all. Sharing their foolproof technique, the couple promises we can create dosas with the bonus of recipes for fillngs from cream cheese, lox and caper to pulled pork with tamarind barbecue chutney. Step-by-step photographs and pages of their vibrant dishes will inspire and guide us to setting up a dosa kitchen for ourselves.
For a glance inside this spectacular title, see our
