Davangere.. .a city in Karnataka.. not too far away from Bangalore, my hometown. I have never been there but having migrated to US, I have met several people from Davangere that talk highly of the ever so famous Davanagere Masala Dosa. So when I saw this post here about the Davanagere Masala Dosa I was so hungry! Just thought you guys would like to read about this and enjoy the pictures. Thanks to Ravikumar the author of this post for the visual treat :-)

Wow, looks like we have tons of fans of the Davangere Benne (Butter) Masala Dosa. I did some research on this and even called a local good friend of mine from Davangere. It seems that the Davangere Benne Masala Dosa is very similar to the Bangalore/Mysore Masala Dosa. Except that it is smothered with butter (now you know how it gets its name?...) when the Dosa is made and also the Potato filling inside is blander and less fancier than the Bangalore/Mysore Potato Palya. And it is usually served with coconut chutney.
I should tell you guys this.. last night we had Masala Dosa at home! I was too hungry for Masala Dosa after reading Ravi's post :-)
There you go folks.
For the recipe of Mysore Masala Dosa please visit my recipe here. Innovate and to make it the Davangere kind.. just use loads of butter (at your own risk though!)
Keep Smiling!

That *does* look amazing! I never heard of Davengere until a few years ago when my cousin went to dental college there. Now I'm kicking myself for not visiting him there and eating this dosa!
Thanks for the link,latha. The dosa looks so yummy...I did enjoy varieties of masala dosas during my visit to B'lore few months back. Now I'am craving for more!
I studied there and they are pretty good and fattening as well. But they taste awesome. Ask ur friends about Davangere Menasinkayi ( Green chili pepper bonda) . Avalakki masala which they make in DAvangere. u get neat stuff there.

I've heard of Davangere dosas and wanted to try it the last time I was in BLR but I had such a bad tummy almost the whole time I was there that most plans were dropped, including the Davangere benne dosa! That picture in the link looked so good, didn't it? Mouthwatering!
Hope you're doing well, Latha! Looking forward to your RCI Andhra entries and round up!
