Dosas for the Demon

A hilarious Kerala folktale about a hungry old man, a very hungry demon, and a plate of delicious dosas that gets him into trouble. Dosas for the Demon is a traditional folktale from Kerala, filled with humour, suspense, mischief, and a little bit of breakfast-time chaos. When a poor old man is given some dosa batter, he and his wife are delighted to finally have something warm and delicious to eat. But while gathering firewood in the forest, the old man encounters a frightening demon—and makes a promise he may not be able to keep. Soon, the demon comes knocking, demanding his dosas. With no food left to offer and nowhere to escape, the old man and his wife must find a clever way out of a very sticky situation. A playful Indian folktale for children about quick thinking, courage, humour, and the unexpected ways people can get themselves out of trouble. Perfect for bedtime stories, family story time, classroom listening, Indian folktales, Kerala folktales, funny stories for children, and young listeners who love food, mischief, and larger-than-life characters. 🌿 Support the podcast and help us share more stories: www.oaktreebooks.in/oaktreestories 🎨 Inspired by the story?
