Notes

  • firstly, dosa batter turns sour after 3 days so you can use leftover dosa batter to prepare paniyaram.
  • in addition, par boiled rice best suits for this dosa. however, you can use sona masuri rice as well. but never try with long grain basmati rice.
  • furthermore, adding butter enhances the taste and browning of dosa.
  • finally, adding a pinch of sugar to batter, helps to get the rich colour to mysore masala dosa.
