Mysore Masala Dosa Recipe with step by step pics, it is different from the regular masala dosa, which is thin and crispy. The dosa batter used here, makes a drastic difference, which lends slightly thick and golden colour dosa. Regular dosa batter won’t work for this Mysore dosa recipe, checkout my breakfast Dosa Batter recipe to get perfect Mysore Dosa. Next to the dosa batter, the red chutney smeared before filling the potato masala, is more important and the dosa is prepared with butter, to get beautiful golden colour and taste. Though the recipe looks bit lengthy, we can prepare the batter and red chutney prior which makes the work more simple, just prepare the potato masala in the morning and go ahead.

Mysore Masala Dosa Recipe
Dosa Batter
1. Do check the dosa batter link, as the batter used here is not the regular one. This batter lends more golden colour, due to the addition of channa dal and toor dal.
2. Also I have added sugar in the batter, to get even golden colour.
Red Chutney
1. Don’t reduce the red chilli, else the dosa tastes bland and taste like usual masal dosa.
2. Also roast the channa dal and then grind it.
3. The chutney consistency, should not be thick or watery (it should be spreadable).
Potato Masala
1. Don’t over cook the potato, just 3 whistles is enough.
2. Also don’t mash the potato like paste, else it oozes out after placing in the dosa.
3. For more flavour, 1 crushed garlic pod also can be added, when tempering.
Preparing The Dosa
1. The tawa should be always hot enough, before preparing the dosa.
2. Don’t skip butter in preparing this Mysore dosa recipe, as it is the key ingredient to lend the golden colour and taste.
3. Spread the red chutney only after the dosa is half cooked, else it mix with the batter and creates a mess.
4. Do prepare the Mysore masala dosa recipe in low flame, to get golden colour and proper cooking.
