Davangere Benne Masala Dosa

  • Duration: 5 hr 30 min
  • Serves: 6 people

  • Spice Level: Medium

Authenticity Slice

The taste & texture of Davangere dosa is different from the regular dosa. These dosas are crisp and yet soft. To bring out that traditional, distinct flavour, use only fresh white butter.

Trivia Tadka

Benne is Kannada for butter. Benne dosa/dose or butter dosa originated from the city of Davangere in Karnataka. It is said that a South Indian restaurant menu is incomplete without the benne dosa.

Ingredients

  • Split black gram (urad dal) (1 cup)
  • Sona Masuri (rice variety) (3 cups)
  • Fenugreek (methi) seeds (1 tsp)
  • Beaten rice (poha) (1 cup)
  • Sugar (1 tsp)
  • Butter (makkhan) (yellow) (100 g)
  • Salt (to taste)
