The Cone Dosa is a creative, modern presentation of the traditional masala dosa, designed for
convenience without sacrificing authenticity. While traditional dosas are typically served flat and
folded on a plate, the Cone Dosa brings South Indian street food innovation to Edmonton. This portable
format has become increasingly popular in India's bustling cities, where food lovers want authentic
flavors they can enjoy while walking or commuting.
At Balaji Dosa Live, we prepare our Cone Dosa with the same dedication to authenticity as all our
dishes. The dosa itself is made from our signature fermented rice and lentil batter, cooked fresh on
the tawa to achieve that perfect golden-crispy texture. The potato masala filling is prepared using
traditional recipes with curry leaves, mustard seeds, and carefully balanced spices. The difference is
all in the presentation - instead of the traditional rectangular fold, we skillfully roll the dosa into
a compact cone shape, creating a handheld pocket of deliciousness.
Perfect for Takeout and On-the-Go
The beauty of the Cone Dosa lies in its portability. The cone shape makes it incredibly easy to eat
without utensils - perfect for takeout, quick lunches, or when you're in a hurry but don't want to
compromise on quality food. The masala stays securely inside the cone, and the crispy dosa holds its
shape beautifully. It's a practical solution that maintains all the authentic flavors and textures you
expect from a traditional masala dosa.
Same Great Taste, New Presentation
Don't let the modern presentation fool you - this is authentic South Indian food through and through.
The fermented batter gives the dosa its characteristic tang and crispy texture. The potato masala
filling is aromatic and flavorful, with the perfect balance of spices. And just like our traditional
dosas, the Cone Dosa is served with fresh coconut chutney and sambar on the side, allowing you to dip
as you go for that complete South Indian experience.
Live Preparation, Expert Rolling
Creating the perfect Cone Dosa requires skill and practice. Our experienced cooks prepare each one fresh
on the tawa, spreading the batter thin and cooking it to crispy perfection. The real artistry comes in
the rolling - the dosa must be rolled while still hot and flexible, creating a tight cone that won't
unravel but remains easy to eat. Fill it with our signature masala, and you have a portable feast that
showcases both tradition and innovation.
Popular Choice for All Ages
The Cone Dosa has become especially popular with younger diners and families with children. The fun
cone shape makes it approachable and exciting, while the authentic flavors ensure that even the most
discerning South Indian food lovers are satisfied. It's also a favorite among office workers looking
for a quick, satisfying lunch that's easy to eat at their desk or in the car.
