OPEN BUTTER MASALA DOSA

Open Butter Masala Dosa is one of the items I always order whenever we go out to eat,specially it tastes great at Adigas,the famous chain of resturants here in Bangalore.I have so much wanted to make this at home,specially on a weekend dinner and I could make this last week.All enjoyed it to the core and needless to say it was a super duper hit in Nithya’s Kitchen Winking smile

.I was so pleased with the outcome that I am planning to make this often.The fact that the masala is on the top rather than inside as a stuffing,is the attraction here.Also it has toppings of grated coconut and ,coriander leaves,idli molaga podi and dollops of butter.Yummy!!
