Unhealthy Indian society and it's implications

Image
 Health of Society is equally important as that of an individual. But outdated cultures and negative mindsets of people can affect the society's health and cause it to deteriorate. Take for instance, the love and worship of a male child in Indian society worldwide. This has not changed over the years despite laws being laid for gender equality under British colonial rule as well as self-rule.  Love and worship of male children In the regressive Indian culture, male child is valued while female children and women are just taken as a symbol of sex and reproduction. Despite women of today pursuing higher education and taking up important roles in the society and workforce, nothing substantial has changed for them at the home front.  Read here: How human milk banks in India are exploiting women in the name of nobility? Besides, such independent women in India are a minimum and cannot put forth their points assertively. And at home, they still continue to follow culture laid g...

The best dosas (rice and lentils pancakes)

 Dosas are a food delicacy of South India. Made of rice and lentils, it is a staple food in Southern states of India. It is available and served in all restaurants there. 

Dosas 

Dosas are pancakes made of rice and lentils that are wet grinded and fermented for few hours. They are served with sambhar (tamarind and lentils curry) and coconut chutney or sauce. 

It is a food delicacy of South India. It has carbohydrates, proteins and fats in it. There are minerals and vitamins. Moreover, it has the benefits of fermented foods. 


Dosas are available in almost all the restaurants in south india. It is also available in restaurants of urban areas and metro cities of India and in some other countries as well. 

While in Bangalore and Karnataka, the availability is at all times, in Tamilnadu and kerala, there are specific hours of the day when they are served in restaurants. 

The best dosas 

I have traveled a bit and tasted these pancakes there. If you ask me which place or region serves the best dosas, I would say it is the state of Karnataka followed by Tamilnadu. The dosas here are delicious and nutritious too. 

Ideally, a dosa should be crispy and at the same time thick. Thd batter should be well-fermented. This you will find in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu dosas. 

Obesity on the rise in India 

In urban cities of Western and Northern India, they make dosas but those are not traditional. Here, these pancakes are crispy but extremely thin. Hence, when you break them with your fingers, half of it falls down in the plate or on the table and only half remains in your hand. It is not enjoyable to eat it. 

Hence, if you want traditional and good dosas, visit karanataka or Tamil Nadu and have a great memory of savouring it.
