Food for Thought: Dosa & Dips: A Taste of India!

NJCH is proud to support Piscataway Public Library’s “Food for Thought,” a series of events exploring the cultural and historical significance of food in our lives. This event for teens ages 12-18 will explore how delicious Dosas are made.

—

Join us for a hands-on culinary experience where teens will learn how delicious Dosas are made — thin, crispy savory pancakes from Southern India — along with a variety of flavorful chutneys/dips! From spicy tomato to cooling coconut and mint, we’ll explore how taste, texture, and ingredients come together in this vibrant food tradition.

This session will also draw fun connections between dosas and global favorites like crepes and pancakes — and we’ll discover how this ancient fermented dish supports gut health, making it a smart (and tasty!) choice for today’s fast-paced life.

The Food for Thought project was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this event do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.

Registration through the library is required via the library website.
