Editorial policy

Who writes MasalaDosa.in

Pages on MasalaDosa.in are written and edited by the MasalaDosa.in editorial team. Pages carry a byline and an “Updated” date that changes whenever the content is revised.

Where our facts come from

• Nutrition. Calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat are calculated from ingredient weights using USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy) values per 100 g. Every assumption is listed on the calories page. We label these figures as estimates because they are not laboratory measurements.
• History. Claims about where a dish comes from are attributed to a named historian, book or newspaper, and linked where a source is online. Where a popular story cannot be verified, we say so.
• Recipes. Quantities are given in cups and grams. Fermentation times are given as ranges for different room temperatures because a single number is wrong for most of India most of the year.

Restaurants and money

MasalaDosa.in does not accept payment for restaurant listings, rankings or reviews. If the site later carries advertising or affiliate links, they will be labelled, and they will not affect which restaurants are recommended.

Tools we use

We may use software tools, including AI writing assistants, to help research, draft and check pages. A person on the editorial team reviews every page, and checks every number and source, before it is published.

Corrections

If you find an error, write to the editorial team with the page address and what is wrong. Confirmed errors are fixed and the page’s “Updated” date changes.
