ONION RINGS "Chef Jay Jadeja loves dosas but hadn’t considered himself skilled enough at making the crisp pancakes to put them on the menu at his Indian pizza kitchen. Instead of making a so-so dosa, he uses the same fermented-rice batter to coat thick rings of onion. They’re fried and stacked up with a duo of chutneys — one savory coconut and thick, the other a refreshing cilantro. The batter makes the rings puff up like mini-doughnuts with a properly crisp exterior, while slices of red onion provide more pronounced flavor than white onion would. It’s an ingenious combination, and I’m surprised I haven’t (yet) seen it in more places. –T.T."
