Mysore Masala Dosa
Preparation time – 13 hours
Cooking time – 30 minutes
A dosa is a type of Indian pancake. Its consistency is much thinner than its western counterpart. It can be made with or without filling.
Mysore Masala Dosa is one of the best breakfast recipes. Most people prefer the type where the interior is soft and the exterior is crisp. That’s how Mysore Masala Dosa is mostly served in the Indian city of Bangalore. However, there are many different versions of the same recipe. In Mumbai, for example, vegetables and spices are added to the Mysore Masala Dosa, making it a unique recipe! The main difference between the Mumbai Masala Dosa and the Mysore Masala Dosa is the difference in the chutneys (sauces). The latter is smeared with garlic chutney on top and has potatoes stuffed inside it. The Mumbai version, on the other hand, contains exciting ingredients like garam masala (hot ground spices).
