Davangere a city situated in the central part of Karnataka state where this dosa apparently originated. I tasted this first back in 1997 when my elder son was studying dentistry. I borowed the recipe from one of our family friends there and tried out the recipe a number of times and is really very yummy and tasty and totally different compared to other dosas. Give this a shot and leave your comments as usual.
What you need to have:
1. Raw Rice (Sona Masuri) – 1/2 cup
2.Par Boiled Rice – 2 and 1/2 cups
3. Blackgram Dal – 1 cup
4. Pigeon Dal /Toor Dal – 2 Tablespoons
5. Fenugreek seeds – 2 Teaspoons

Hi Vanamala,
Thanx a lot for ur comments.
R u the one from DRR Govt Polytechnic, Davangere????
Hello Pratibha,
Thank you for the dosa recipe. Pls can you post the recipe of the special potato palya and chutney too? My friends insist that the original palya is quite different from the regular palya (as it has no seasonings). And the original coconut chutney has something extra in it (cardamom/cinnamon?).
Thanks again!

Hi KA,
I will surely post the recipes of both the dishes soon.
HI!! looks great… parboiled rice is same as ‘ukkado ‘ rice ? is it also called boiled rice or “kucchalakki ” ?
is it ok if we grind the urad dal in the mixie ?
Hi Vidya,
“Ukkdo rice ” is not par-boiled rice. U get another variety called Par-boiled rice which is little light in colour and also not as hard as “Ukkado rice”. It is O K to grind Blackgram dal in mixie.
thanks for the quick reply… there are so many varieties of rice : dosa rice, idly rice ( same as salem rice i think), then kuchalakki, then boiled rice and even there is malyali boiled rice too…. so i am totally confuse. but thanks to the picture.. when i go to the super market this time will pick up the right rice …..

Hi Bhavana,
Par boiled rice is “Kat sambar akki” as it is called in knnada. This is not boiled red rice but of course par boiled and little off white in colour and transparent. Hope i am clear. Take care and bye for now.
Hi,
Thanks a ton prathibha, I had asked many people to find out the Masala Dosa Rice. But, they were confused with red rice. Is this rice available in chennai. I m unable to find out the Kat sambhar rice suppliers in google. I searched many place in chennai. Unable to get this rice. If u know anyone, can you pl let us know. This will be great help.
Hi Ruchi,
People in Chennai use this rice for idli. Just visit any Grocerry shop and ask them for Idli rice and not raw rice. They usually prepare idli with that rice only as far as i know.
