Anyone will love one base recipe from which many other unique dishes can take shape. They are called mother-ship recipes! Oh boy! I love such recipes. For all the effort that goes into making dosa batter it is a mega base recipe. Making a huge batch of dosa batter enables you to make crisp hot masala dosa, plain dosa or this hotel style open dosa.
Hotel style open dosa is a tasty dosa variety found in many darshinis across Bangalore-Mysore. You know exactly what’s in your dosa or should I say ‘on’ your dosa.
A super specialty dosa recipe from the alleys of Bangalore-Mysore. Very tasty and lip-smacking with a layer of chutney powder, a big spoon of aloo palya, a dollop of butter and topped with freshly grated coconut. Certainly worth the effort!
When I make dosa batter I plan at least 2 kinds of dosas with it. Makes for a great weekend breakfast. Try other dosas from FOI, set dosa, masala dosa, khaali dosa. Other special variety dosas like neer dosa, majjige dosa, sorekayi dosa. For instant variety try heerekayi dosa and onion rava dosa. A plethora of dosa recipes, more choice, the better! More batter more dosas 🙂
