Dosa calories and macros

One plain dosa (a medium one, about 90 g) has roughly 135 calories, with about 3.4 g protein, 22 g carbohydrate, and 3.6 g fat. A plain dosa is a fermented rice and urad dal crepe cooked with a little oil, and it is one of the lighter Indian breakfast options as long as it stays plain. The single variable is oil: a dosa cooked on a well-seasoned tava with almost no oil is near 110 calories, while one cooked with a generous ghee or oil pour crosses 175. Adding the potato filling turns it into a masala dosa at around 250, and a large restaurant paper dosa is bigger and oilier still. The fermentation is the quiet benefit, it lifts B vitamins and makes the batter easy to digest. Plain dosa is low in protein on its own, so it is usually eaten with sambar and chutney, which add both protein and calories.
