Benne Dosa / Butter Dosa


Benne in Kannada means Butter in English. :D There there.. I have increased my GK!!
This one is from Aayis Recipes fame Shilpa again...whats special in this one? Its simply Butterlicious, Super crispy and the aftertaste that lingers on for much longer !! I did not make the stuffing or chutney due to time crunch...but please follow the original recipe here. Has more details...I made only the basic dosa, which was more than delicious!

Ingredients :
2 cups dosa rice
1 cup urad daal
2 cups rice flour
1/2 cup maida
1 pinch baking soda
Salt
Butter
Oil
Method :
Wash and soak dal and rice separately for 3 hours. First grind the daal to a fine paste, rice to follow suit. Mix the two well in a mixing bowl, add rice flour, maida and salt. Mix well and leave it overnight to ferment. In the morning, just prior to making dosas, add the soda and mix well.

Heat a non stick pan, spread the batter, drop 1/4th tsp of butter over it flip and let the dosa get done. Serve hot with any chutney.. I have served honey as this was for kids. Also I have used Amul butter as it has a bit of salt in it and the taste of salted butter is what gels for all at home!!

*Serve with utterly-butterly love :)*

Butter Dosa looks fantastic, making me hungry. So maida is added to this one? I am amazed at this array of dosas.
