hotel masala dosa recipe | bangalore style masala dose | thick masalsa dosa with step by step photo and video recipe. dosa or popularly known as dose in kannada is not just a recipe but is an emotion to most of us. it is generally prepared with simple rice and urad dal based combination, but has gone so many variations. one of the popular variations is the hotel style or bangalore style masala dosa which is known for its thickness and bright red colour.
i have posted the regular or the traditional masala dosa recipe but i was getting a lot of requests to post a video on hotel style masala dosa. well, i always thought that the hotel use to follow the same traditional recipe, but i’m afraid not. firstly the dosa batter is completely different from the rice used in it. it uses parboiled rice or also known as red rice. some restaurants in bangalore do only use boiled rice but i have gone with a 1:1 ratio to the white rice. using red rice gives a red colour to the dosa, which is unique to bangalore restaurants. in addition, the dosa batter is spread thicker and hence it is not as crisp as the traditional one. this is not mandatory but could be a critical one for a few. give a try at this recipe and i am sure that it would not disappoint you.
