Description:

Davangere a city situated in the central part of Karnataka state where this dosa apparently originated. I tasted this first back in 1997 when my elder son was studying dentistry. I borowed the recipe from one of our family friends there and tried out the recipe a number of times and is really very yummy and tasty and totally different compared to other dosas. Give this a shot and leave your comments as usual.
