Mummy..I want Dosa!!!!

Dosa, one of the many awesome delicacies from South India. I crave for dosa so much that I can never get enough of them even if i have them daily. Every time I used to go to Hubli from Bangalore, I used to remind my mom two days before, so that she can keep the dosa batter ready the day I land in Hubli. Too nostalgic about dosa today. Was reminded of the varieties of dosa I have had.

Mum's special dosa: I can easily eat around 7-8 such thin dosas at a time. Its lip smacking good. Mashed potatoes with lots of onions and turmeric; and white coconut chutney; and butter along with it just make it heavenly. I always ask my mom to make enough dosa batter so that i can have dosas for lunch, uttapam at the evening and dosas for the next day morning!! Yup I am a foodie and whats great is my mom enjoys cooking for me. Slight mix of egg with dosa batter makes it even better.

Ganesh Darshan,Bangalore dosa: This ones different but too good. Soft in the inside, crispy on the outside with lots of ghee. Any amount of queue to grab a dosa here is worth it.

Mayya's, Bangalore dosa: It looks like almost fried in ghee. Bit costly than the others. But a bite of it makes you forget the cost.

Davangere Benne dosa, Netkallapa circle,Bangalore: I can still feel the taste of the dosas here. He makes amazing kaali dosa, masala dosa etc.The mashed potato with these kind of dosas is completely different. Its just plain mashed potatoes, onions and salt and chilli.

Adiyar Anand bhavan dosa: Have a dosa here, and you will always remember the smell of pure ghee oozing out of your fingers. The cocounut chutney he makes is just awesome here.

Kerala mess, BTM: Pody dosai, and ghee pody dosai are just superb. He smears dosas with some kind of red chutney which just gives it an ethereal taste.

Dosas at food street: The making of dosas here itself makes you want to have them. Especially the way he pours oil above the dosa, its just brilliant.

Do you think you need to mention a 'special dosa', the one that i was one of the privileged to have from someone's lunch box? Let me help you out...
S's Dosa: slightly thick, reddish patches amidst an almost black dosa, absolutely cholesterol free and lots of love! ;)
