#Recipe by @anjan Dal (lentils) is a such a staple, omnipresent component of Indian cuisine! It’s considered peasant food and a dish we were forced to eat as kids. The Indian version of eating your spinach It’s only when you are older and wiser, with a much more sophisticated palette do you realize how amazingly delicious and healthy this dish can be when prepared with the right blend of spices, herbs, and other vegetables Each region in India and every household has it’s... own variation. Here’s my recipe from a few nights ago as a general guide. Adjust spices up or down. Use your instincts Yellow dal (lentils) Ingredients - 2 cups, tsp turmeric powder, tsp black pepper, 1 bay (or curry) leaf, 1 clove, 3 cardamom pods, cayenne pepper to taste, salt Yellow Dal (Chana) Directions - Add dal to 6 cups of water.

Add spices in small amount and adjust as necessary. dashes of turmeric, black pepper, bay leaf (curry leaf if you can find it), 1 clove, 3 green cardamom pods, dash of cayenne pepper, salt. Stir occasionally to ensure dal doesn’t burn at the bottom. Add water when dal becomes too dry. Cook till dal is soft and a little mushy. Indian dal is never served al dente but more like a thick soup Tempering Ingredients - tsp poppy seeds, tsp mustard seeds, 1 dried red chile (or thai chile), ginger-garlic paste (ground) 50 grams each, red onion, 3 scallions chopped, leaves from 10 sprigs of cilantro, 1 tomato Tempering (Tadka) - Heat pan on high.

Garima Kothari, Founder of Nukkad, fellow female restaurateur following her unique vision of celebrating dosa in the US, taking the many, great risks that come with abandoning a corporate path to become a restaurateur, deserves to be remembered. Her tragic death needs to be talked about. We are grateful to Eater for asking this hard question of who gets to be celebrated in our industry, and why? https://www.eater.com//garima-kothari-murder-press-coverag

Long before DOSA opened as the first modern, South Indian restaurant in San Francisco in 2005, there was Floyd Cardoz (@floydcardoz) also from my hometown of Bombay, who founded Tabla in 1998 with Danny Meyer (@dhmeyer) in NYC, the first of its kind in the U.S. He was a pioneering force in the culinary scene and was the first to give our cuisine the high respect it deserved! He also won the very first Top Chef Masters many years later @bravotopchef! . It is incredibly tragic that he succumbed to COVID-19 today! We extend our sincerest and heartfelt condolences to his family and friends! You will be missed! . #floydcardoz #chef #indianchef #pioneer #dosasf #first #culinary #indiancuisine

DOSA will now be closed through April 7, 2020 as what the city refers to as a non-essential business. We look forward to serving you on the other side and remain optimistic that these drastic, cautionary measures will expedite our recovery as a nation from Coronavirus. Please shop for us online with Good Eggs and at your local Whole Foods Market or natural food store where dosa by DOSA features wraps, salads, curry bowls, samosas, simmer sauces, and lassi!... https://www.goodeggs.com/dosasfbay Namaste, DOSA Management

Friends of DOSA, DOSA on Fillmore, SF and dosa by DOSA, Oakland closed today on March 15 in an effort to help protect you, our team members, vendors, and suppliers from spreading the Coronavirus. While we would love nothing more than to continue serving you during this time of need, we feel its more important to act responsibly during this critical period and hope that other restaurants will do the same. ... Staying open despite a 75% decrease in sales has been VERY challenging to say the least in the past week, but we remain optimistic that being highly cautious now will help bend the curve sooner vs. later and slow the spread of this pandemic. Please support us by buying our fresh wraps, salads, samosas, simmer sauces, curry bowls, and lassi at your local Whole Foods Market store and online with Good Eggs! Please also encourage the city and state to help its small, local businesses as we cannot survive the Coronavirus crisis alone. Stay safe and healthy and, hopefully, we will be back in a week or two! Namaste! The DOSA Team
