    • 2002 April 10, Vidya Shenoi Madiraju, “Masala dosa (stuffed dosa)”, in Los Angeles Times Cooking[1], retrieved 27 May 2026:
      The masala is the icing on the cake, as it were, and lifts the ordinary crepe into something quite special. Having said this I must admit that I have a preference for the humble sada dosa because it is pure, simple and wholesome. Of course, the fact that I once massively binged on masala dosas and suffered its consequences might be a large part of the reason too.
    • 2023 May 5, Kanan Patel, “Paratha Recipe (Plain Tawa Paratha)”, in Spice Up the Curry[2], retrieved 27 May 2026:
      There are three types of parathas. The first is plain paratha or sada paratha. This is what I am sharing today, it is also known as tawa paratha as it is cooked on a tawa (not tandoor). Second is flavored paratha where veggies or spices are added to the dough to make different flavors of paratha e.g. ajwain paratha, methi paratha, palak paratha, etc. Third is stuffed paratha such as aloo paratha, mooli paratha, paneer paratha, etc.
    • 2026 May 4, Brigid Ransome Washington, “Every Cook Needs a Reset. This Was Mine.”, in New York Times Cooking[3], retrieved 27 May 2026:
      The morning I had to leave Tobago, mum woke early and made me sada roti, a leavened flatbread, and her version of “baigan,” a quick-cooking eggplant stew zapped with garlic and curry powder. The simple dish defined island life; I’d eaten it most mornings growing up, and I’d almost forgotten about it.
