  1. This recipe reminds me of my childhood in my native in Karnataka. The flavours are just on point. Thank you Dassana.5 stars

  2. (I am unable to copy the link onto the comments for some odd reason, sorry)
    Found your recipe copied almost word for word in this website …
    Hopefully this gets dealt with…
    #notoplagiarism
    PS:you do some incredible work here !

    1. thank you suba. i know of this website (i have removed the link as then the comment becomes spammy). earlier, i have even written to them and they did remove the recipes. it is painful and takes a lot of times dealing with such cases. most of the times the person copying just denies everything and makes lame excuses eg – i took from google. it is not yours etc. this happens also for pictures. so a waste of time and energy. i am ignoring these people for now as i really do not have time to follow with them. but i appreciate your concern. thanks again for letting me know.

  3. I just found a very sinilar recipe that is copied off your blog of the same dish…i can only imagine the hardwork you must put in to bring out this kind of great work and to see it copied blatantly is painful. Hopefully something can be done about it .
    Will post the link below

  4. Hello madam
    I tried this dosa recipe and also other recipes of yours was very nice. I hope children doesn’t need hotel food. Thankyou for your recipe.

  5. Ok, we at home lovvvvve Davangere dosa and I cam by your page and followed you perfectly. Except my dosa did not get that porous and white on the upside. It was 95% there but that little thing was missing.
    Can you troubleshoot and tell me where I could have gone wrong?
    In that context pls tell me what proportion of soda to rice will you recommend. I have a tiny suspicion that my soda may have been less. So, for instance you have used 1/4 tsp soda for 200 gms rice. I used a healthy pinch of soda to 1 american cup of rice which may well be 180 gms. Do you think my soda was less?

    Also I noticed you do not add oil after spreading the dosa batter. That’s correct?

    I also may have not bothered to lower the flame of my gas and given that I use a heavy iron tava, I should have kept it medium to low I feel.

    But now you tell me.

    1. the soda was less, for about 180 grams you can add 3 to 4 pinches of soda. 4 pinches is 1/4 teaspoon. i have used butter as thus i have not used oil after spreading dosa batter. i also use heavy iron pans for making dosa. i usually keep the flame low to medium and regulate it as required. when the dosa batter is spread, the tawa has to be hot, although not very hot. the heat from the tawa helps in giving porousness to the dosa.

  6. Hi Dassana,
    Yesterday I made the batter ready but dint add maida while grinding..as I wanted to make idly as well… So after fermentation this morning..dosa batter required for one time I kept aside and kept the rest in fridge… With the dosa batter which I had kept aside I added one or two tbsp of maida and mixed and added pinch of baking soda and prepared dosa… It was delicious… Actually I wanted to make puttu and kadala curry. So prepared kadala curry last nite and tot dosa for note.. But then my husband saw the batter outside in kitchen for fermentation last nite and said he wants dosa… but I already made kadala curry… So mrg I made this davangere style benne dosa the color if dosa was nice and I was happy and served my hubby with kadala curry only… The combo was gUD. He enjoyed…thanks a lot for the recipe…5 stars

    1. thanks vidya. maida can be added later too. dosa and chana is also our favorite combo. in fact with kadala curry i do make dosas occasionally. thanks for sharing in detail about the benne dosa recipe.

  7. Hi dassana,
    can we skip baking soda here? Like with your fermented poha idli, i’ve made them many times without adding b. soda and they still turned out fabulous. It’s just that i usually try to avoid b.soda (unless it’s a cake)

    1. ruchi, of course you can skip baking soda in the recipe. baking soda does additionally help the dosas to have a softness, but you can easily skip it.

  8. Hii,
    One can easily make ur recipe with their eyes closed as ur recipes r just perfect.After referring to ur blog and making few recipes,I became an addict to ur blog.
    Had always tried this DOSA at various DOSA outlets locally here and wondered ever if I could make it perfectly.
    Thanxs to ur simply supppperb and perfect recipe.
    I had tried BENNE DOSA yesterday and made the batter day b4 yesterday and it was perfect and simply delicious.My 5 year old son had it all day long and insisted for it today too, as it is one of his favourites.
    Thanxs and keep the good work going.5 stars

    1. Welcome Pretti. Glad to know this. Small children are best critics. If he liked it then you must have made it very well. Thanks for your positive feedback on benne dosa. Do try some more recipes.

    1. it is 1.5 cups puffed rice. the cup is 250 ml. different ingredients have different measurements in the same cup. e.g. 1 cup of rice can weigh 200 to 215 grams. it depends on the density of the ingredient. puffed rice is very light. so when 1.5 cups of puffed rice is weighed on a weighing machine, it weighs 50 grams. here only the puffed rice is weighed and not the measuring cup. another way of saying is that 50 grams of puffed rice, occupies space in 1.5 cups or fills 1.5 cups. hope i am clear in explaining.

  9. hi.. I don’t hv pori. can I substitute it with poha? if yes, would the quantity remain the same?

  10. I just downloaded your app on to my phone, sitting in Canada feel right at home each time I make your recipe’s . your’s is the only website I look into before I cook most dishes, next on list Benne do said Thanks for all your hard work and recipe testing for lesser mortals like us.

  11. It is mentioned in the ingredients murmura 1.5 cups as 50 grams whereas 1 cup parboiled rice as 200 gms, kindly clarify

  12. Hi amit

    Dosa is yummy. Just want to ask few things .why do we add maida.also is the quantity of this batter is same as set dosa batter. Becoz the quantity of this batter was more.. Wanted to know if its becoz of fermentation.5 stars

  13. The dosa looks tempting I live in Tamil nadu actually what do u mean by dosa rice im a beginner in cooking would u please help ? by the way I tried some of your recipes like aloo kurma , hotel kurma which turned out great. Thanks in advance.4 stars

    1. thanks archana. dosa rice is variety of parboiled rice which is used specifically for making idlis or dosa. parboiled rice is also called ukda or sela chawal. if you do not get dosa rice, you can use parboiled rice also.
