DOSe / DOSA -Mysore Masale Dose, Set Dose






At home we love Dose to Idli..errrmmm...is it? naa..we love Idli too ..it's difficult to take sides when I have to choose my favorite breakfast :D Idli or Dose ? ummm..both are equally delicious and we love both. What is soo special about MMD (Mysore Masala Dose)? It's bewitching aroma which wafts the air! The difference between regular masala dosa and MMD  is the garlic chutney which is spread thinly over the dosa before the potato curry is laid over it ;)

Enamma en kodisthiya ? (hey! what would you treat us with?) Sari nadi MMD tinnona plus Mysore Pak ;) (let's enjoi MMD and Mysore Pak) would be our standard answer to celebrate all small and big occassions in college/office :D


Here is the batter recipe :

Dappa Akki (Thick Rice) - 2 cups (1 cup holds 500ml water)
Note : You can use Idli/Dosa rice or normal rice which you use
Uddinabele/Uraddal/Deskinned black gram- 3/4 cup (measure in the rice n dal in same cup)
Sago - 1/2 cup (1 cup=100ml water)
Kadalebele/Chanadal - 2tbsp
Fenugreek Seeds : 1tsp

1.Soak Rice in one container. Soak all other ingredients in another container. Soak them for 5 hrs
2.Grind them separately using little water to a smooth paste, transfer it to a airtight container, add little salt and mix them.Add enough water to aid fermentation. Less water means inadequate fermentation.
3.Let it ferment for 12-14 hrs. Fermentation is the key part here. When you open the lid you must smell sourness which indicates a well fermented batter.
4. Next day,check the salt in batter, add more if required and make dose.

Method :
Heat a tava, add little oil and spread it using a wodden spatula if you are making dose on non stick pan.
If you wanna make set DOSe do not spread the batter let the batter spread itself, just pour the batter on hot tava that's it!
If you are using a well fermented batter, you can see many holes which forms on top of the dose as soon as you drop the batter over the tava.

Once the underneath of dose becomes red turn over and roast it. This step is optional however I like my dose perfectly red both the sides

Serve hot with little butter on top and chutney. Sagu also makes a perfect companion to Set Dose with Benne (Butter)

Mysore Masale Dose (MMD)


Garlic Chutney/Kempu Chutney
Garlic Pods - 6 (6 big ones, 10-15 if you are using small indian variety)
Red Chillies - 4 (soaked in hot water for 15 mins)
Tamarind : 1 small piece (optional)
Salt
Grind everything to smooth paste, keep it aside


Potato Palya
Potato - 4 (cooked, peeled and mashed)
Onion - 2 (deskinned, cleaned and chopped lengthwise)
Green Chillies - 8 (slit lengthwise)
Mustard - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves - 5-6 leaves
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 1tbsp
salt
Heat oil, pop mustard, add curryleaves, turmeric and green chillies. Mix.
Add chopped onions and stirr well, sautee till onions become transcluscent. Sprinkle little water, cover and cook till onions are cooked.
Add salt, mix and add mashed potatoes mix well again. Switch of the stove. You can garnish it with little chopped coriander leaves.

MMD assembling :
On a hot tava spread the batter using the back of the spoon. When the surface and underneath of the dose is well baked, spread a 2 tsp full of garlic chutney over it. Lower the flame.
Take 2 tbsp full of Potato Palya and spread it over the chutney. Spread a tbsp of ghee over the surface.
Fold Dose into half. Serve with chutney.

A Variation, if you don't have garlic chutney :
If you have garlic and curry leaves chutney powder just sprinkle over the palya.

Dibs said...

Its dinner time, and this post is making me absolutely ravenous Lakshmi! Nice name.. MMD! Reminds me of my college days - when we would all troop to Chalukya Hotel on Race Course Road (Bangalore), to have their MMD and bisi bisi jamoon! The slightest reason is all we needed to feast on an MMD! I have never tried the red garlic chutney at home. Thanks for that recipe!

Finla said...

FH said...

Slurp! Last time I went to Indian store, I bought a Andhra style garlic-cocnut dry chutney and I use that with MMD, so yummy but tougue burning hot, kids don't like doses or idlis at all, so Arvind and I eat them all! :D

Set dose and MMD nodi, egale madabeku annisutte, adare tumbane cold illi, ovenalli itru ferment agalla sariyagi!:(

Unknown said...

I made this today for dinner and now I see it here..looks yumm..willpost my later..

Unknown said...

Pallavi said...

Deepthi Shankar said...

Cham said...

My husb always asked me how to make the red chutney they spread in masala dosa, have u came across of any Kannadiga blog? I am gonna try this one! We all freak for dosa not for idlis.... Is it like Davangare benne dosa? I haven't tasted one in my life next trip to India, my husb promised all karna roadside food :)Until that i can drool all over ur dosas

Nithya Praveen said...

Wow..what a variety Lakshmi.Reminds me of Bangalore, where i have seen this wide spread.Wonderful!

Unknown said...

Idly, dosa can't get enough of it..
MMD is a nice name, drooling over here...

KonkaniBlogger said...

What a nice write-up..Dosas are my favorite too, yaaradru maad kotre innu chennagi iratte ;)..Nice pics..

Lakshmi said...

@ Dibs,
MMD holds sweet college memories for almost anyone from that part of India I think. Garlic Chutney ..try it out :)

HC,
ahahhaaa....Nope! I am still learning HC

@Raks,
thanks dear. Dosa makes us drool over it anytime isn't it?

@Mangala,
Saw dosas at your place they look gorgeous Mangala.

@Smitha,
ahahhaaa...same here,my hubby is clearly Idli Vade party :P

@Ashakka,
Enjoy your winters dear. Bisi bisi mirchi bajji maadi asha ;)

@Sowmya,
Sure..you must have done a good job too

@Ashwini,
ehehehe...my son eats dosa all the time esp when we go out!

Lakshmi said...

@ Rekha, Pallavi, Deesha
Thanks a lot for appreciating.

@Cham,
Try it cham, I took a year to post this on TOM. Not sure why I kept postponing this post :P probably I thought Dose is soo common so can post at leisure. Try out Mirchi Masala at Chickpet, several other street food at V V Bakery and its adjascent areas. Benne Gulkan with dry fruits and ice cream should be on your list..err..if not add it I am sure you will enjoy that carb boost!

@Nithya,
Veg Puffs at your place made me think of Bangalore again! Food connects us with our home town we all miss it so much na..

@Madhu,
:) Dose esth thindru thinbeku ansuthe nodi...

@Maya,

Dibs said...

lakshmi - I have linked my post to this MMD post! Seems like you and my mom think alike!! She sent me potato palya recipe just yesterday as well!

YOSEE said...

Nothing to beat the flavour of Mysore Masale dose. ಒಂದಾನೊಂದು ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ,Ballal Hotel and Dasaprakash were famed for their butter melting masaledoses. (Can still smell the aroma as i type this !) And Mylari Hotel for Set Doses. I have never tried adding channa dal for the batter.Must try.

Lakshmi said...

@ Yosee,
ohhh! Mylari hotel ..we had set dosa and sagu this time. He neatly topped dosa with benne and it was good. Times have changed and so are the quality of food they offer, nevertheless MMD fans remain the same :)

Adlak's tiny world said...

I luv masala dosa very much. yrs lovely and tempting dear.

Savi-Ruchi said...

sahiti said...

Hi Lakshmi,
Dosas look very inviting.I've been searching for spongy dosa recipe since long and I want to try this one.
I need a little clarification.Is sago to be measured with a smaller cup which holds 100 ml water?Or the same cup used to measure rice and dal?
Thank you in advance.

Lakshmi said...

@Sahiti,
ya tat's right..sago to be measured in small cup which holds 100ml water.Give it a try :)

sahiti said...

Hi Lakshmi,
Before I could check your answer,my s-i-l had soaked 1/2 cup of sabudana using the same cup used for measuring rice and dal.And the result was very good,just like your pics.
The set dosas were so spongy and tasty,no batter was left to make mysore masala dosa.
Next week,I'll follow your recipe.Bye.Thank you once again.

Lakshmi said...

@ Sahiti,

many thanks for the feedback dear. Such feedback always encourages to blog more!

Grandma Lilly - said...

I got the recipe which i have been searching for long! That of Set Dosa.Ummm.. that should be our breakfast for tomorrow.

kittymatti said...

I never knew that mysore masala dose and set dose were made from the same batter. Very interesting ingredients. I have been looking for the typical karnataka hotel style dose, hope this works! thanks, will try it n let u know :)

Lakshmi said...

@ Kittymatti

kittymatti said...

hi lakshni,
I gave the recipe to my sister. She tried it and it was a super hit! She could smell 'Bangalore' in it! haha ... We have given the recipe to our mom too.. Now that it is weekend, I just soaked the rice n dal... It will be ready by tomorrow night.. Looking forward to it..

kittymatti said...

Hey i made the dosas, it came out perfecctly! Thanks a lot, finally had the 'taste of mysore' haha... :) thanks!

Grandma Lilly - said...

Your dosa (set dose) was our breakfast today and everybody loved it! Thanks for sharing!
I will spread the recipe around and our neighbourhood "Benne Dosa" shop is sure going to lose his business.

Lakshmi said...

Lakshmi said...

@Srujani,
It is nice to hear such feedback. Keep visiting TasteofMysore.

Shailaja said...

Hi,

super dosa recipe. Can you please tell me what is Dappa Akki? Will we get this in shops if Iask for Dappa Akki. I live in Bangalore. Is Dappa akki equal to boiled rice?

Lakshmi said...


Shailaja,
Dappa Akki is not equal to boiled rice. This is a type of rice which is more starchy than the rest. If you are in Bangalore just ask 'Dappa Akki' and they will show you. Go to retail shops n not supermarkets. I see a lot of malls n markets in Bangalore these days.

Can I get the recipe of the DOSA sambar we get in Bangalore hotels ? hilltop04@gmail.com
