#streetfoodofindia
Pizza Dosa is one of the famous street foods of Mumbai. In Mumbai, you get a number of other street foods like vada paav, bhel and sev puri, chinese bhel, sandwiches, idli wadas, samosa, etc. with a wide varieties of dosa topping the list! Street food culture is now trending all over the world, well India sure isn’t lagging behind!
Pizza, as well as dosa, both are famous street foods, and pizza dosa is just a combination of the two! To present the original dish, I have used the green capsicum only. But many more exotic veggies can be used in this dish, as per preference. I think, the choice is endless.
