Melissa D'Costa takes you on a hogathon across the city to four places that make the cut for portion sizes guaranteed to leave your mouth open and your tummy fullBite into a dosa that resembles A vuvuzelaUntil a few months ago, the four-feet long Paper Dosa drew awestruck dosa fans from across the city to Matunga's Cafe Madras. Unfortunately, the dish has been wiped off the menu now, making a suburban eatery at Khar the prized catch where you can get a fill of an unending Paper Dosa. A long, crisp Paper Dosa makes its way out of the kitchen and sits pretty on a banana leaf, jutting out of the sides of a wooden table. It's served with piping hot sambar and a bowl of chutney. At first sight, the crispy South Indian crepe looks like a Vuvuzela (a South African musical instrument) and is a favourite with big families and kids.u00a0
