Rolling Gunpowder Dosa at Santa Fe's Only South Indian Restaurant - Cooking in America

[@mapledoodle5516]

Man, why is it that every Indian I encounter, whether in person or watching via video like this Indian Chef, is so nice and humble?

I think as an indian myself I can answer this: Many of us start from nothing, poor people in America are rich compared to India. Just making it to America we feel like we have won the lottery. Indian culture is also not violent and aggressive like some cultures in the USA (hip hop culture) we are never going to be gangsters or intimidate anyone. Eastern cultures are about respect. You don't want to act like a fool and bring shame to your family. Another thing is finding peace with yourself, this comes from the hindu religion but I also see it in indians who are muslim.

Dosa is one of the few Indian dishes that doesn't get enough recognition here in the United States. Most people in the United States, who go to Indian restaurants, consume things like chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, goat curry, saag paneer, biryani, naan, etc. Few are acquainted with how flavorful the dosa is. As an Indian, who is quite familiar with the various foods across India, the dosa - this simple street food - is one of my favorites. I appreciate your channel bringing exposure to this overlooked Indian specialty.

If you can find an indian store near you, you could probably make these too as some stores do sell dosa batter. You can also get a lot of spices from these stores and if you want to try making a curry these indian stores do sell spice mixes/packets of spices with the label for what dish it is for and even how to make the dish on the packet.
