Our transition from one apartment to the other meant that for a few days we had no kitchen, giving us an opportunity to sample the local cuisine. One night Shari ordered a paper dosa. We had eaten normal dosas before, and were curious to see how a paper dosa would be different. Imagine rolling up a page of newspaper the long way, and stuffing it with shredded coconut, raisins, and cashews (Shari's choice). You can order them with just about any filling imaginable. The dosa itself is a fragile, super-thin, fried pancake which is crispy and flaky. There is no neat, dignified way to eat a dosa. You have to use your hands. By the time you're finished there are crumbs and bits of filling all over the table and the eaters.
