ಬೆಣ್ಣೆ ಮಸಾಲ ದೋಸ
Usually during any family outing to a restaurant especially in Bangalore, there will surely be a masala dosa ordered. I used to always order for masala dosa. (Especially in Vidyarthi Bavan, Gandhi Bazaar or Hotel Janatha, Malleshwaram)
My Dad loves masala dosa, and he used to have it during his office break. He never gets bored of it. :)
This is the dosa eaten with the masala made out of potato and chutney made out of coconut. Surely a very delicious dish and is a must try recipe.
Ingredients
For the batter:
Urad dal - 1 cup
Dosa Rice - 3 cups
Channa Dal - 2 tbl spn
Toor Dal - 2 tbl spn

Salt to taste.
1) Soak all the above ingredients together for about 8 hours with sufficient water
2) Then, grind the mixture into a fine paste and add salt to this and set aside to ferment for about 8 hours.
(I usually soak the mixture in the morning, grind in the night before going to bed, and let it to ferment through the night)
3) Once the batter is fermented (You will notice a increase in quantity so place the bowl on a big plate or give enough space in the bowl for the mixture to increase) give it another good mix with some sugar and its ready to make dosas.
