In case you're in New York searching for 

a genuine South India dosa, 

adventure out to the Ganesh Sanctuary in Sovereigns. 

In the cellar of this Hindu sanctuary, 

they're doling out three dinners consistently, 

what's more, a sum of around 20 assortments of dosas. 

New York Magazine, Zagat, and The New York Times 

have all named the Sanctuary Flask's dosas 

the absolute best in the city, 

also, some regarded guests, similar to Anthony Bourdain 

also, Padma Lakshmi, have made a trip to appreciate the dish. 

Urvashi Urti: This is a 40-minute ride for us to the sanctuary, 

also, I do it each Tuesday since I love the food. 

Also, visiting God is the pardon I give my family. 

Client: Everyone from India, they like 

this South Indian food. 

Medha: Hello folks, I'm Medha. 

Abby Narishkin: And I'm Abby. 

Medha: And we're here at the Hindu Sanctuary Society 

of North America in Sovereigns, 

also, we're going to attempt some dosas. 

Abby: I'm siphoned, I have never had dosas in my life, 

furthermore, I've seen these on Instagram and they look delightful. 

Medha: Anyway, which one are you eager to test? 

Abby: I'm eager to evaluate the one that's, as, 

the length of the arm, that I've seen everywhere on the web. 

Medha: And what's so cool about this sanctuary flask 

is that there are an assortment of dosas, 

they sell such countless sorts, 

also, it's covered up inside a storm cellar. 

Abby: So we should go get it! 

Medha: The Hindu Sanctuary Society of North America, 

otherwise called the Ganesh Sanctuary, was established in 1970. 

The Sanctuary Flask before long followed 

in the cellar of the sanctuary, in 1993. 

From the outset, the Container arranged just Naivedyam, 

or then again food contributions, to Hindu gods. 

Medha: Ultimately, it started doling out its notorious dosas 

for sanctuary participants and guests the same. 

Dr. Uma Mysorekar: Even in the sanctuary, 

everyone is welcome to come, 

so for what reason would we separate in the Container? 

I'll advise you, food anyplace will unite individuals. 

(giggles) 

Medha: The Flask provides food 

to a severe Hindu vegan diet, 

so the dosas are loaded up with fixings like 

potatoes, onions, and Indian flavors called masala. 

The starting points of Indian food in America 

are convoluted. 

Be that as it may, many concur the food probably appeared 

on the West Coast in the mid 1900s. 

As indicated by NYU educator Krishnendu Beam, 

who's been considering the food's ascent 

for just about twenty years, 

notices for Indian cafés showed up 

in New York City's white papers in about the 1920s. 

Be that as it may, it wasn't until the 1980s 

that food sources like naan and tikka masala 

turned out to be more normal. 

South Indian food, in any case, didn't regularly appear on menus. 

Today, of the about 400 Indian cafés 

in New York City, 

Beam says just regarding 50 of them serve South Indian food. 

Furthermore, the one dish that is keeping South Indian food alive? 

The dosa. 

Dr. Mysorekar: Goodness, everyone knows what dosa is, 

what idli is, the thing that vada is, everything. 

Yet, at the outset, returning 20, 30 years prior, 

it was practically obscure, for all intents and purposes obscure. 

What's more, it was just being made in the homes, truly, 

what's more, perhaps in some large eateries 

in the event that you go down to the city, 

where you pay far too much for that. 

So here, when we began this, 

what's more, it's not just for our local area, 

what's more, the neighborhood individuals began coming. 

So once they come, they have a taste, 

it simply brings them back here once more. 

Medha: The Sanctuary Bottle actually sits unassumingly, 

as it generally has, in the sanctuary storm cellar, 

complete with collapsing seats, paper plates, 

furthermore, some great dosas. 

Urvashi: This gets as near Mother's food 

back in India as it can. 

Medha: Dosas are generally vegan, 

produced using rice flour and lentils. 

Cooks scoop the hitter onto the barbecue, 

spread on vegan garnishes, 

furthermore, overlap the dosas into a triangle, 

cone, or chamber shape. 

We chose to attempt the three most famous dosa assortments: 

the Pondicherry masala, a three-sided dosa 

loaded down with onions, green chilies, 

a zesty blend, and a potato masala; 

the rava dosa, made with cream of wheat, 

just as onions, green chilies, 

also, coriander blended right in the player; 

also, the paper dosa, a monster, fresh form 

of the dosa that is only the player 

concocted with ghee. 

The entirety of the dosas accompany two plunging sauces: 

sambar, a fiery lentil-and-vegetable sauce 

cooked with an extraordinary curry powder; 

furthermore, a green chutney produced using ground coconut, 

ginger, and green chilies. 

Abby: Ay-goodness! 

Medha: Bless your heart. 

Abby: When you're eating a great dosa, 

what does it taste like? 

What does it seem like? 

Medha: There's such a lot of that is engaged with a dosa, 

furthermore, meeting up, every one of the flavors just 

truly fly in your mouth. 

It's super, too tasty. 

So that is the thing that you need to anticipate. 

Mm. 

Abby: Mm. 

Medha: This certainly has a kick to it. 

Thus, on a size of one to 10, 

I would say this is 

a five? Abby: Five, no doubt. 

Medha: Better believe it, a five in flavor level, which is acceptable 

since it's not overwhelming the dosa by any stretch of the imagination. 

Abby: No, no doubt. 

Medha: You can in any case taste the inside of the dosa, 

which comprises of onions, corn, potatoes, 

such countless various vegetables within here. 

Since I've done a second dunk into the sambar, 

the flavor level has certainly kicked in to, similar to, a seven. 

Abby: Presently it's in the rear of my mouth. 

Medha: That's right. 

Abby: No doubt, yet it scattered before long. 

Medha: In the event that you don't care for flavors, 

at that point chutney is the best approach 

since it will, as, mellow it, 

make it simpler, 

on the off chance that you don't have a zest resilience level that is high. 

Abby: So you generally eat it with your hands? 

Medha: Definitely, in light of the fact that most Indian food 

you don't actually require forks or spoons. 

Like, it's customary to eat it with your hands 

furthermore, simply plunge it into the sauce. 

Abby: How fortunate am I that this is my 

first involvement in dosas? 

Medha: You're quite fortunate, Abby, 

since I don't think anybody has 

these numerous dosas when they Abby: Truly? 

give it a shot the first run through. 

'Cause imagine a scenario in which you are somebody who likes 

the Pondicherry masala dosa, and you needed 

a filling dosa, you know, a dosa with a great deal of filling, 

also, you requested the paper dosa? 

It's altogether different. 

Thus, every single one of these things is altogether different. 

Abby: And you would think, eating this food 

furthermore, how great it is, 

that this is this spot does. 

In any case, this will be, this isn't even why 

this structure is here. Medha: Mm-well. 

Abby: And that is astounding. 

Urvashi: It gives you a vibe of wistfulness. 

Like, it's practically similar to visiting Mother each Tuesday.
