I am sure there is hardly anyone who would not have tasted the classic exquisite Mysore Masala Dosai. It is one of the most popular dishes for any meal of the day and is enjoyed by people across the country. I was initially skeptical about choosing this one for the alphabet M as against other…

Lauki Chilla | Bottle Gourd Pancakes
The Chilla is a very popular breakfast dish primarily because it is so quick and easy to make and makes for a hearty meal. When I was looking for pancake like dishes for L, I did not have many options. The chilla was on my mind ever since I began this marathon because if there…
Khura |Buckwheat Pancakes
After yesterday’s sizzling street food magic of Mumbai, we are back to more traditional recipe. During one of my more experimental days, I had made a spicy version of the Neer dose and actually managed to find time to click pictures too. I was desperately trying to fit it in somewhere during this month but…
Inji Thokku Dosai | Ginger Pickle Dosai
So here we are on the 9th day of this marathon and my family’s enthusiasm for dosais has begun to wane. Also, my maid has started sighing and rolling her eyes when she sees the grinder / mixer in the sink to be washed every alternate day. So now I have to figure out different dosais…
Heerekai Sippe Dose | Ridge Gourd Peel Dosai
There are so many dosais in Karanataka that it’s astounding. When I first made my list of dosais for this month it seemed more like a Karnataka tourism promotion rather than dosais from across the country. So I reduced the number of dosais from the state but there are still so many unique and amazing…
Gavhache Dhirde
We are at the end of the first week of this Mega Marathon and today’s alphabet is ‘G’. I had quite a few choices for this alphabet but I wanted to cover as many states of India as possible and so I picked this Maharashtrian dish. There was also Ghavan from Maharashtra but I thought…
Farali Dosa
You can’t imagine my delight when I found out about this word, ‘farali’. It means ‘fasting’ and in our unique Indian way, fasting also has an awesome spread of dishes. I had always heard of ‘vrat’ or ‘upvas’ for fasting menu but never ‘farali’. Guess, that is why we do a mega marathon to find…
Eerulli Dose | Onion Utthapam
I was quite worried about what dish I would get for alphabets like E but thankfully not only did I get a dish, I got one of the easiest and tastiest dishes. Eerulli dose is nothing but the popular onion utthapam as it is known in Karnataka. The humble onion utthapam is so simple yet…
Davangere Benne Dose
This is a classic dosai and one of the first ones I decided on when I was compiling my list of dishes for this month. I am absolutely in love with the various doses of Karnataka but like everyone I love the benne dose the best. Benne means butter and like its name this dose…
