Bwahaha...Masala dosa is Tamil cuisine?? What next? Sambar is a Tamil creation??

Since Mangalore and Maharashtra were part of the Madras Presidency - err...Akhand Tamil nadu, Dosai and sambHar are indeed Tamil cuisine.

You should be careful with your Akhand-x arguments, Unkil. One of your equivalents in Pakistan can turn the same argument around and claim that dosa and sambar are Pakistani because Mangalore and Maharashtra were part of Akhand Pakistan before 1947.

According to their school history books, PakiSatan was established by Ghori Muhammed 1000 years ago and the muslims ruled benevolently the whole of British India. On Aug 14, 1947, the British gave Pakistan independence in response to their fierce non-violent independence movement led by Quaid-E-Azam. On Aug 15th, Pakistan gave Hindustan its independence in keep with the promise given by the Quaid to MK gandhi.

Maharastra was part of Madras presidency? really? What happened to Bombay state? Vidarbha was a part of Central Province.

BTW, your definition makes them "Madrasi" cuisine and not Tamizh cuisine.

this is like claiming jazz originated in africa. it did not. its origins are amongst the slaves in the united states. similarly sambar is a wholly tamil dish regardless of the antecedents of its creators.

This is it. I have had it...with the anti-tamil sentiment on this board. People steal even Dosai from Tamils, and now Idli is being stolen by the Gults. What is worse... Sambhar - the only item holier than the Tulsi Theerth given in Srirangam Temple - is being claimed by Marathis...and now Chutney also.

I am all for an independent Tamil Nadu now.

Wrong. Idli and sambar were synonymous with tamilians, but never dosas. Dosa, uttapam, vada, bonda, bajji etc are considered as Udupi dishes.

Most ridiculous and anti-Tamil comments I have seen here. Uthappam is Udupi??
Uthappam means poured appam and appam is a popular dish among tamils.

As to origins of dosai, vadai, we'll let experts find it rather than insulting each other's cultures - decent people would behave decently.
