Mysore Masala Dosai / Mysore Masala Dosa


We are entering the 4th week fo Cooking Carnival in  Mega Blogging Marathon edition.For this week I am sharing the dosa recipes with stuffing/filling.
For day 1 its one such, evergreen and classic recipe,Mysore Masala Dosa.Already I have shared a version of masala dosa here with the regular dosa batter.But for  this version of  Mysore Masala Dosa,I prepared a separate dosa batter to get a nice golden color.I followed the recipe from Mrs.Mallika Badrinath's cook book with few alterations.
Usually Mysore Masala dosa is on the thicker side and a spicy garlic chutney is applied on the dosa and filled with potato masala.As we prefer the crispy dosa,I made it slightly on the crisper side.Also butter can be used to cook the dosa.
