Hi I wanted to know the difference between Jian Bing and Dosa. As you can see I'm a Indian and I never had Jian Bing and wanted to know if their any difference or similarities.

They are similar only in appearance.

 

Jianbing are made from a dough made from wheat or millet flour and contain egg. They are usually served folded around dough sticks (油条 yóu tiáo) or a type of Chinese cracker (薄脆 báo cuì). There is a good description here.

 

Dosa are made from a fermented batter made from rice and ground lentils. 

 

Both have variations.
