About Benne – Heritage Bangalore Dosa
Akhil and Shriya, a filmmaker and a psychologist, shared a deep love for dosas. Missing the iconic Bangalore-style dosa in Mumbai, they embarked on a quest to recreate their childhood favorite. After perfecting the recipe, they realized that the secret to a great dosa lies not just in the simple ingredients — but in the honor, respect, and care invested in its making.
