Dosa is not the only South Indian export that is gaining popularity on the global stage - Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone is another one.
The actor, whose home town is Bengaluru and who has Konkani roots, made her big Hollywood debut opposite Vin Diesel in 2017, with the film 'XXX: Return of Xander Cage', making her a popular name among American cinegoers. Now, a US-based restaurant Dosa Labs has even named a dish after the actor.
The actress retweeted a fan’s post about the dosa, saying, “what a great way to begin the year...Happy New Year!” The dosa comes with potato mix and is topped by fiery red ghost chillis.
