Dosa Truck

This past Saturday, a myriad of food trucks parked at TLofts in West LA for a benefit for the Red Cross to assist Haiti.  We had to check it out.  Competition was stiff as the breeze brought sweet scents from the likes of Buttermilk Truck, The Grilled Cheese Truck, Sweets Truck, and others.  But as we only had a few minutes, we headed straight for Dosa Truck.  I love innovative Indian food and have often been disappointed in LA.  (Tanzore has great ambiance but ok food, and Bombay Cafe hasn’t changed its menu in how many years?)  It would make us very happy to see an Indian resto the likes of which you see in London such as Amaya.  Until that day, one may have to look for little glimmers of hope in the smallest places.  Dosa Truck’s Mong was very sweet to accomidate our lack of time.  We had the Goa Goodness, which is spinach, cheese, and mushroom with bright and cheery coconut and tomato chutneys all wrapped in the perfectly crispy dosa (a rice/lentil pancake).  It was washed down by a bitingly refreshing ginger/limeade.  It made us very happy.  (One piece of advice, eat the dosa horizontally.  I tipped it upright and a waterfall of chutney flowed into my lap.)

  1. I heard from Leena the “Dosa Wallah” from Dosa Truck. She says they will do more R & D on the chutney problem mentioned in the post. Apparently they are intended to be eaten vertically!
