## Notes

* firstly, pour the dosa slightly thick for davengere style benne dose.

* also, blending leftover rice and adding to the batter will give restaurant style texture.

* additionally, you can add soda and sugar to get more holes in dosa and golden colour.

* finally, benne dose / butter dosa tastes great when prepared with more butter.
