When it comes to enjoying South Indian cuisine, the main dishes like dosas, idlis, and uttapams often steal the spotlight. But what takes a meal from good to great are the side orders that elevate each bite with new textures and flavors. At JJ Dosai, we understand the importance of these accompaniments, and we’re proud to offer some of the best side orders in Edmonton that will transform your meal into a culinary masterpiece. Wondering which sides to try on your next visit? Here’s a guide to our must-try side orders.
Why Side Orders Matter
Side orders are more than just extras on the plate; they’re an essential part of a traditional South Indian meal. The right chutneys, raitas, and accompaniments can complement the flavors of your main dish and enhance your dining experience. Whether it’s a spicy chutney that wakes up your taste buds or a cooling yogurt to balance the heat, the right-side order can make all the difference.
The Best Side Orders at JJ Dosai
1. Best Kara Chutney
If you’re a fan of bold flavors, you can’t miss out on our Best Kara Chutney. This fiery red chutney, made with a blend of red chilies, garlic, and tomatoes, packs a punch and pairs perfectly with crispy dosas and fluffy idlis. It’s the ultimate choice for those who love a bit of heat.
2. Best Coconut Chutney
A classic side that no South Indian meal is complete without is the Best Coconut Chutney. Creamy, slightly sweet, and rich in coconut flavor, this chutney brings a subtle balance to the spicy and savory main dishes. It’s perfect for dipping dosas or drizzling over your plate.
3. Extra Sambar
We understand that one serving of sambar is never enough, which is why we offer Extra Sambar for those who just can’t get enough of this hearty lentil stew. Bursting with vegetables and aromatic spices, our sambar is the perfect companion to everything from dosas to vadas. Don’t be shy—order an extra bowl and savor every spoonful.
4. Best Allam Chutney
Unique to the region and bursting with flavor, our Best Allam Chutney is made from fresh ginger, tamarind, and spices. The zing of ginger gives it a distinct taste that pairs beautifully with soft idlis and steamed rice cakes. If you’re looking for a chutney that brings a touch of warmth and spice, this is it.
5. Best Egg Kalaki
A South Indian specialty that’s not as well-known but delicious is our Best Egg Kalaki. Lightly scrambled with just the right amount of seasoning, this dish is fluffy, flavorful, and perfect as a protein-packed side. Pair it with a dosa or enjoy it on its own for a quick, satisfying snack.
6. Best Masala Omlet
Our Best Masala Omlet is a fan favorite for good reason. Packed with onions, green chilies, and a medley of Indian spices, this savory delight is a must-try for anyone who enjoys a bit of spice in their breakfast or brunch. It’s hearty enough to stand alone but pairs wonderfully with a bowl of Extra Sambar or Best Coconut Chutney.
7. Best Plain Omlet
For those who prefer something simpler, our Best Plain Omlet is an excellent choice. Light and fluffy, this classic dish is seasoned with just a hint of salt and pepper, making it the perfect side for almost any meal.
8. Best Peanut Chutney
A lesser-known gem but equally flavorful is our Best Peanut Chutney. This unique chutney blends roasted peanuts, garlic, and spices to create a nutty, slightly tangy dip. It’s an ideal pairing with dosas and gives a new twist to traditional flavors.
9. Best Full Cream Yoghurt
Sometimes, all you need is a side that can cool things down. Our Best Full Cream Yoghurt is thick, rich, and smooth, making it perfect for those who want to balance out the heat from spicier dishes like the Best Kara Chutney or Best Masala Omlet.
10. Best Raita
Last but not least, our Best Raita is a must-have, especially if you’re enjoying something with bold, spicy flavors. Made with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and herbs, our raita is refreshing and cooling—a perfect complement to spicy curries and rice dishes.
