🥇 We Won Gold. And I still can’t quite believe it.
After five years of early mornings, market stalls, sleepless nights and an unshakeable belief in what we were building DOSA – Delicacy of South Asia has been awarded Gold at the Free From Food Awards 2026 in the Grocery category for our Crêpe Dosa Batter.
We were also named Runner Up in the Sustainability Award at the same ceremony.
Let that land for a moment. A small, independent, family-run South Indian food business from Nottingham competing on the same blind taste test stage as Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Asda and winning.
This business started with a recipe.
My mother’s recipe. Stone-ground. Naturally fermented. Made the way it has always been made with patience, tradition, and no shortcuts. I founded DOSA in 2020, during a pandemic, with nothing but passion for food and love for my craft. My sister Priya now runs the business alongside me, and together we have built something we are incredibly proud of.
The road has not been easy. There have been challenges I never anticipated. But reaching this milestone makes every single one of them worth it.
What this award represents:
✅ 100% gluten-free, Coeliac UK accredited
✅ Naturally fermented, stone-ground, no preservatives
✅ Majority plant-based
✅ A mother’s heritage recipe, now nationally recognised
✅ An independent Nottingham brand, recognised for both taste and sustainability
✅ Inclusive, allergen-free food made for the whole community
To every stockist, customer, market visitor, and supporter who has believed in DOSA from the beginning this award is yours too. You put our batter in your kitchens and your trust in our brand, and today that means the world to us.
We are now officially an award-winning brand. 🏆
And we are just getting started. 🌟
