Black dosa seems like a perfect culinary metaphor for those who do not have a Valentine or those nursing a broken heart. Ananda Bhavan hotel in Adayar, Tamil Nadu, is serving this special black dosa from February 10 to 16. However, there is a catch if you are curious to try out this unique dosa. The hotel serves the black dosa to only those who are 'certified' singles.

This dosa that has become quite a rage on the social media is made by mixing activated charcoal in regular dosa batter. The batter is thinly spread on hot tawa and then sprinkled with some ghee to make it extra crispy. This crunchy dosa is served with the regular accompaniments like sambar and chutney.

Food mixed with activated charcoal is becoming hugely popular in the international culinary scene for its health benefits. It makes you look younger and eases digestion as well. Charcoal is excellent to flush out the toxins from our body. However, one shouldn't eat more than one black dosa a week as too many charcoal dosas can cause loss of essential nutrients in your body.

The delicious black dosa costs Rs 60 per plate.
