Show HN: How to Read a Dosa Menu

michaeljnatkin2 pts0 comments

I love dosa, but have a hard time remembbering what all of the terms mean and how they fit together. Mysore masala paper roast is just a stack of independent choices: batter, texture, a smear, a filling, and the word dosa. So I built a little tool that treats every dosa name as a formula. You build an order and see what would arrive, or tap a real menu item and watch its formula light up.I tried to (with Claude s help, obv.) cover naming conventions from Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. And, full disclosure, I m an outsider to this cuisine who just loves food, so there s every possibility I ve got mistakes in there, and I m certainly missing some great dosas. Feedback and corrections are very welcome!
