Instant dosa saves time but lacks the digestive, nutritional, and gut-health benefits of fermented dosa. Learn why fermentation matters and how it impacts health. Fermented dosa batter undergoes several biochemical changes that offer significant health benefits. During fermentation, lactic acid bacteria and other microbes break down complex starches into smaller fragments, making them easier to digest. Phytic acid, which inhibits mineral absorption, is reduced, and gas-producing oligosaccharides are leached out. As a result, the risk of gas or bloating after eating dosa is greatly lowered. The proteins in urad dal and rice are partially pre-digested by enzymes produced by lactic acid bacteria. This process releases amino acids, making them more readily available. When you eat fermented dosa, your body absorbs essential amino acids more easily, supporting muscle repair and overall metabolism. Fermentation partially hydrolyzes starches into simpler sugars. Lactic acid and acetic acid for...
