Mysore Masala Dosha




Till now I havent met anyone who doesnt love masala dosha. A crispy masala dosha paired with some coconut chutney and sambar is something I never get bored of ,be it at home or at restaurant.
I got this recipe for a restaurat style masala dosha from my cousin sister and I have been hooked onto this ever since.If u follow the recipe and tips as it is ,I cant see any reason for this to go wrong...Mysore masasla dosha is nothing but  usual masala dosha with a  tomato chutney spread on it so its like a cherry on top of cake ! But I am warning u if are going to take pictures of mysore masala dosha like I did, the tomato chutney will make the dosha a bit soggy,so if you are looking for a crispy dosha eat as soon as u make it :)
