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…
Chakuli Pitha
When I started compiling the list of dosais, I knew it would have a Southern region bias because dosais are such a staple in these parts. I knew I would get some similar dishes from Western parts like Maharashtra or Gujarat but I honestly did not expect to travel east in my dosai exploration. Today’s…
Balehannu Dose|Banana Dosai
For the second day of the mega marathon, I have the Balehannu Dose or the banana dosai. Thanks to this marathon, I discovered the amazing variety of dosais made in Karnataka. I have been consciously trying out more local food since I moved back to Bangalore two years ago but my dose knowledge was kind…
Adai|Lentil Crepes
This is the first day of our Mega Marathon when we blog about Flatbreads & More. As I declared yesterday, I am doing A to Z of Dosais thanks to a mutiny by the husband and daughter. My original dish for A was to be Appam which is not only my favorite dish but also…
Baked Mini Donuts
Today is the first day of a three day weekend. The daughter and I have an agreement that she eats whatever I make during school days and I make whatever she asks for during holidays. Most of the time it makes mt life easier though I understand I have to renegotiate this just before vacations….
Stuffed Idli
This series seems to be one of hasty phone pictures. History repeated itself, as it often does in my house, when the daughter and husband claimed to be so hungry that waiting even for a second was impossible. It is so weird that there are days when I have the meal ready way before time…
