    Kadapa Karam Dosa is a popular Dosa variety from Kadapa which is a city in Andhra. The specialty of this dosa is the different chutneys spread on it and served with a variety of side dishes.

    The batter is also slightly different as it has cumin seeds added to the batter. Andhra cuisine is known for its spicy food and this dosa is typically spicy. This was one of the early dishes I made and enjoyed it much. We normally make erra karam and use it on regular dosas. Amma has a different Bombay Chutney. However, this Kadapa Karam Dosa as such was from her dairy she had noted long time back.

    So for K, it is Kadapa Karam Dosa in the AtoZ Flatbreads and More, where I am making AtoZ dosa Varieties. If you want to know what's for K in AtoZ Indian Flatbreads.

      Can guess that this Kadapa karam dosa will definitely please my masala dosa loving hubby's tastebuds. Am seriously amazed to see the bombay chutney stuffing in the karam dosa. Well done Valli.
