Are dOsais also pancakes?!

*******************************************************************
Just like great people are ever humble, paddy plants heavy with
grain ears bow their heads. Mixing rice from such a morals-teaching plant
together with black grams whose peels remind us of Thirumaal, grinding
to a watery paste, fermenting for a day, dosa pancakes are made
over a skillet. Getting the dosa as full moon out of the pan is an art!
