Notes
- Always use wet Grinder, for Good Results.
- Taste of Masala dosa depends on Red chutney.I made the Red chutney with Hot & Spicy. if you want less spiciness, reduce the no of Red chillies.
- Adding Ginger gives nice flavour to Masala.
- Make the masala, as little thick curry,than dry, for good Taste.
- Adding butter is optional, if you want nice crispy browning texture, add butter.
- Coconut Chutney is an apt combination for this Dosa.
