The description of the 'Smashed Potato Crepe' (masala dosa) says, "Crisp rice batter crepe served with a lentil soup, a tangy tomato and classic coconut relish."
On the other hand, Naked Crepe (plain Dosa) description reads, "Crisp rice batter crepe served with a lentil soup, a tangy tomato and classic coconut relish."

Food blogger eats masala dosa with fork
Last year, a food blogger was slammed for eating dosa with a fork.
There's a simple rule to eat a dosa: just use your damn hands. But tragically, not everyone seems to be following the rule. A food blogger shared a video on Instagram, showing her way of eating a masala dosa.
In the viral video, a food blogger, Mansi Shiv Rathi, explained how she eats a masala dosa. She carved a hole in the middle with a fork and scooped some of the masala with a piece of it. She then dipped it into some chutney and sambhar.
¡°Sharing my way to eat a masala dosa,¡± reads the caption of the post.
In another apocalypse, the internet found it hard to get over a new unwanted cringe-worthy invention- chocolate cherry dosa!
While, chocolate dosa is not completely unheard of, but seeing dosa being made with dry fruits, chocolate syrup and cherry, makes one vomit in mouth for some reason.
Things like this will make you lose faith in humanity! pic.twitter.com/LO5hWwtyVG

A Twitter user named Darshan Pathak (@darshanpathak) shared a video of the making of chocolate cherry dosa with the caption, ¡®Things like this will make you lose faith in humanity!¡¯ The video has horrified foodies and they are pleading with the restaurant to stop ¡®killing¡¯ food.
The dosa making starts with the usual spread of rice-lentil batter on the tawa, then comes the butter. Then comes the horrifying ingredient the chocolate syrup, and the horror show doesn¡¯t stop there. The chef then adds cashew, almonds, raisins and even cherry in the dosa! Then the dosa is made ready to serve.
