Naan & Dosa Cuisine of India on Wyoming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable<\/em>.\u201d
\n~Mark Twain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

>Ever since Eve succumbed to the wiles of a serpent who moonlighted as a used car salesman, humankind has been easily led into temptation. \u00a0As playwright Oscar Wilde once jokingly remarked, \u201cI can resist anything except temptation<\/em>.\u201d We can all relate. We all face temptations of one sort or the other. \u00a0Like the forbidden fruit of Eden, temptation can be very attractive and very difficult to resist. \u00a0Though technically sin–actions or offenses that are offensive to God–is a concept to which only Christianity and Judaism subscribe, most of the world’s religions do believe in the concept of right or wrong–as defined by the laws and rules set forth by their respective gods and as interpreted by religious leaders within the respective faith.<\/p>\n

The interior of Naan & Dosa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sometimes (or quite often as has recently been revealed) those religious leaders are also led astray. \u00a0One of the more benign examples involves a Brahmin, a member of the priestly class in Hindu society’s caste system. \u00a0Since alcohol was forbidden to Brahmins, one tried to ferment his own with rice. \u00a0When his efforts failed, he poured out the contents onto a pan and made a crepe out of it. \u00a0The name given to the Brahmin’s attempt at sinning by drinking alcohol was “dosha” which later became “dosa,” a term which translates to “sin.”\u00a0 To compound the transgression, dosha was eaten with “chata” (what we call chutney today), a term which referred to a bad habit. \u00a0Essentially, dosha mattu chati (dosa with chutney) translated to “sin accompanied by a bad habit.<\/p>\n

There are a number of “origin” stories for dosa and chutney, but since culinary historians can’t agree on one definitive version, the raconteur in me hopes you enjoyed the one with which I introduced this review. \u00a0Though consensus doesn’t exist as to the origin of dosa, one indisputable fact exists–dosa is one of the most popular of all Indian foods. \u00a0Renowned for a slight tangy taste (due to fermentation), the thin, crisp crepe is savory rather than sweet. \u00a0It can be eaten with a number of curries and vegetables. \u00a0If you’ve never had dosa, why not see what you’re missing at an Indian restaurant where “dosa” is on the marquee–Albuquerque’s Naan & Dosa.<\/p>\n

Naan & Dosa is ensconced in a mixed use property on Wyoming almost halfway between San Antonio and Academy. \u00a0It doesn’t have prominent street-facing signage, but you shouldn’t miss it if your car windows are open and the distinctive aromas of Indian cuisine waft into your vehicle. \u00a0Those aromas are like the beguiling song of the sirens though Indian cuisine isn’t one temptation that will lead you to a catastrophic end. \u00a0Quite the contrary, Indian cuisine will likely awaken you to the realization that you should enjoy it much more often–especially when a trusted blogger reminds you frequently how wonderful it is.<\/p>\n

Alonna Smith, the brilliant blogger behind My Indian Stove<\/strong><\/a> advises\u00a0“Naan & Dosa is a very good restaurant to learn more about Indian food. Their South Indian dosa is a flavorful, no-too-hot, and crispy treat. I can also vouch for their tandoori dishes, which are cooked in a real wood-burning tandoor oven. And their garlic naan is not to be missed<\/em>.” \u00a0Though Alonna has mastered the art of cooking Indian food (much to the delight of her husband Eric) and shares it with the world on her fabulous blog, she’s a regular at Naan & Dosa. \u00a0After repeated invitations, we finally found our way to Naan & Dosa, alas on a day in which Alonna and Eric couldn’t join us. \u00a0As my Kim said after our inaugural visit “Phooey on you! for not having brought me here sooner<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Though Naan & Dosa has been delighting Duke City diners for just over one year (as of June, 2022), there’s a familiar element to the menu and the fabulous dishes you’ll enjoy. \u00a0That’s because Naan & Dosa was founded by the same great family who launched and operated Curry Leaf<\/strong><\/a> from 2006 through 2021. \u00a0Curry Leaf remains in the family; it is now owned and operated by one of the founder’s brothers. \u00a0As with Curry Leaf, there are two defining elements to Naan & Dosa. \u00a0First is the hospitality which extends far beyond the typical politeness you experience at most restaurants. \u00a0From the second you’re greeted to the time you leave, you’ll be treated in a familial manner. \u00a0Courtesy and kindness are hallmarks. \u00a0The second defining element, of course, is the food. \u00a0It’s fabulous!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"
Naan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As with many Indian restaurants, Naan & Dosa offers a buffet. \u00a0There’s no better introduction to Indian food than a buffet which offers so many options. \u00a0My Kim would tell you I’d just as soon line up to get the Cabrona virus as to stand in line for a buffet, any buffet. \u00a0Even if the lavish buffet at Naan & Dosa offered diamonds and gold, I’d pass and order off the menu. \u00a0It’s a weird food snobby prejudice, I know, but I’ve never been accused of following any crowd. \u00a0Fortunately my Kim doesn’t share my prejudice toward buffets and will typically make at least two trips. \u00a0Of course, she lords it over that she’s usually eating merrily while I’m still studying the menu.<\/p>\n

25 June 2022<\/strong>: Naan & Dosa immediately earned our high esteem when our mango lassi beverages were served on the rocks. \u00a0At most Indian restaurants in the area, mango lassi tends to be served at room temperature. \u00a0We were surprised at just how much better mango lassi<\/strong><\/em> over ice is. \u00a0Especially in the summer, this is the very best way to enjoy mango lassi. \u00a0Strangely when you study the world’s earliest or best bread cultures, India isn’t always listed. \u00a0Considering how absolutely wonderful naan (not to mention other types of Indian bread are) is, any omission is a travesty. \u00a0Naan & Dosa’s naan and garlic naan<\/strong><\/em> are both superb, especially when paired with one of the terrific chutneys.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Buffet Plate: Lots of Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken and Lengcha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

25 June 2022<\/strong>: My Kim and I haven’t always agreed on the concept of the buffet. \u00a0To her, a buffet is an opportunity to have as much of the one or two items she really likes. \u00a0To me, a buffet is an opportunity to diversify–to try as many different things as possible. \u00a0Since she’s the only one of us who partakes of the buffet line, the only opinion that matters is hers. \u00a0As is usually the case, she piles as much tandoori chicken onto her plate as she can carry. \u00a0Then, to appease me by diversifying her plate, she added a small portion of butter chicken and possibly the most popular dessert in India to her plate. \u00a0That dessert is called gulab jamum<\/strong><\/em> and it’s akin to eating syrupy pancake orbs. \u00a0They’re super sticky, sweet and irresistible…even to her.<\/p>\n

25 June 2022<\/strong>: Tomato soup is considered one of the ultimate in comfort foods across the fruited plain, especially when served with grilled cheese and particularly during a winter cold snap. \u00a0More and more Americans are adding basil to their tomato soup, a combination which not only smells and taste great, it just belongs…like fries and ketchup only better. \u00a0Madras tomato soup<\/strong><\/em> one-ups any tomato soup you’ve ever had. \u00a0Imagine tomato soup seasoned with exotic Indian spices and coconut milk. \u00a0Yes, coconut milk which lends a bit of sweetness to the tangy, seasoned tomatoes. \u00a0Now, if only Naan & Dosa offered grilled cheese sandwiches.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Madras Tomato Soup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

25 June 2022<\/strong>: If you’re served most of the dosas on Naan & Dosa’s menu you might find it hard to believe dosa is typically a street food. The one dosa you might conceivable take and eat on the go–and eat with your hands–is the cone dosa, a A cone shaped crepe made with fermented rice and lentil batter. \u00a0That one you can tear and eat in small bites or dip it in a chutney before eating it. \u00a0You can also leave it whole and dip as you go. \u00a0Alternatively, you might order one of the seven other dosas on the menu. \u00a0These are stuffed then plated vertically with two chutneys on the side. \u00a0It may be one of the most pulchritudinous platings you’ve ever enjoyed.<\/p>\n

That may especially be true if you order the Jindi dosa<\/strong><\/em> (rolled crepe topped with chopped onions, cabbage, bell pepper and homemade Szechuan sauce all garnished with homemade farmer’s cheese. \u00a0Farmer’s cheese, of course, is paneer, a fresh cheese requiring\u00a0no aging or culturing. \u00a0It’s one of my favorites even though it tastes a bit like cottage cheese (which I dislike intensely). \u00a0Though the Jindi dosa may look too good to eat, after your first bite you’re not going to want to put them down. \u00a0The Szechuan sauce is one of a few Indo Chinese items on the menu, a mash-up of two of the world’s oldest and best culinary cultures.<\/p>\n

Jini Dosa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

22 September 2023<\/strong>: \u00a0According to an article on Time Magazine<\/strong><\/a>, “O<\/span>nly about 20% of U.S. adults say<\/a> they have a best friend at work<\/em>.” \u00a0 The article goes on to state that: “Research on the topic is clear: having friends in the workplace can not only boost job satisfaction<\/a> and performance<\/a>, but also improve wellness. It\u2019s linked to a lower risk of burnout<\/a>, better mental health, fewer traumatic experiences, and maybe even a longer lifespan. \u00a0<\/em>At the University of New Mexico, I was blessed to find two best friends, Elaine Rising (my work wife) and Nader Khalil. \u00a0Our friendship is more than commisserating about work woes and celebrating job accomplishments, it’s about sharing confidences, laughs and family. \u00a0It’s about really enjoying one another. \u00a0We’re the three amigos at UNM.<\/p>\n

Our friendship is also about sharing meals. \u00a0Indian cuisine is something we all enjoy so our only challenge is deciding where. \u00a0I always recommend an Indian restaurant they’ve not visited before. \u00a0 For the most part we all have the buffet. \u00a0That’s an easy choice at Naan & Dosa which usually has Elaine’s favorite (saag paneer) and always has Nader’s favorite (everything). \u00a0They sometimes have choices I’ve never previously had–such as egg curry, hard-boiled eggs in a curry sauce. \u00a0 It’s all delicious! \u00a0A visit to an Indian restaurant without my Kim means I’ve got to ferry home an order of tandoori chicken<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0 Instead of plucking a few pieces from \u00a0the buffet tray, Naan & Dosa prepared a tandoori chicken meal for royalty: leg, thigh and breast. \u00a0My Kim loved it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Naan & Dosa is an exemplar of the tremendous cuisines of North and South India. \u00a0Both the naan and dosa are among the very best you’ll have anywhere. \u00a0Whether you’re hoping to learn more about Indian cuisine or are intimately familiar with it, Naan & Dosa is an outstanding option.<\/p>\n
