Masala Dosa Recipe : Hotel Style ( Mysore Masala Dosa )

Posted by Veena Karanth at 09:30:00
Masala Dosa commonly recognised as Mysore Masala dosa is a favourite among many in the breakfast menu in South India. This dosa is famous for its color texture and, above all, for its rich taste.
Even though this dosa is famous world wide, it mainly originated in Karnataka and that too in Mysore.The batter prepared is different from the original dosa batter and oil or butter is used more than other dosas. It is spicy since we have red chutney, and also, it is stuffed with a potato mixture

Kitchen Masti Points.


  1. See to it that the batter is well fermented or else you may not get crispy dosa.
  2. You can eat this dosa along with coconut chutney and sambar.
  3. If you find the batter thick, dilute it with a little water.
  4. Always remember to roast the masala dosa in a low medium flame to get a bright color.
  5. Roasting it for more time will lead to a dosa with a dark texture. So, choose your roasting time depending upon your need.
  6. You can omit red chutney totally if you opt for less spicier dosa.

Lovely recipe..I recently found out from a cook at an udupi hotel tht he adds sugar n rawa in the batter...but I couldn't get the entire recipe. Is this recipe from an udupi hotel? Adding toor dal is new to me...did u add it or did the chef mention it?

Hi..
What is the cup size you use for this recipe (how many ml or oz ?) Because you add 2 tbsp channa dal and a tsp of toor dal..so wanted to know the cup size for rice and urad dal.


Veena Karanth on 21 August 2015 at 07:57 said...

Yeah, you are right, the recipe is from an udupi hotel. Adding toor dal is a tip given to me by the chef himself.
