Garlic  Dosa  from Arya Bhavan,

Mushroom Dosa  from Murugan Idli shop,

Egg Dosa    from Muniyandi vilas  ,

Sky dosa eaten in Jet airways  while flying ,

Plate  dosa   from the hawkers cart  ,

Panneer  Dosa from Dosa  Plaza ,

Mysore  Masala Dosa from MTR,

Neer Dose  from Subz  ,

Baby corn dosa   from Vysya

Rava Dosa  from Sangeetha,

Rava Masala Dosa from   Adayar Anand Bhavan

Pizza  Masala dosa again from Vysya

All these are not as tastey  as the  royal Dosa,

Prepared   in the smoke filled  kitchen,

With Oil   gently applied Using stick tied with  torn father’s dhothi ,

Dipped   in the oil  in the  rock bottom  of the bottle,

Using the dough   so loving  ground by you in old style mortar

On a fire word  stove  making it so thin that  both  its edges wilted,

And served  directly in to the plate  hot , hot

Oh mother , Oh mother, Oh mother

When will  I get it once more?
