Instructions
Start by making red chutney..Heat 1 tblspn of oil a kadai. Add in channa dal, urad dal, dry red chilli and garlic. Roast this for 2 mins untill it gets light golden.
Now add in tamarind, red chilli powder and coconut. Mix this once..Add in salt and sugar and mix well.
Turn off the heat and put it in a blender and make into a fine paste by adding some water.
Heat a tawa, I used my mother’s iron tawa. Take a ladleful of batter and spread it into a thin dosa..
Add a tsp of butter and spread it evenly with a spatula,so that the top of the dosa is smooth and even.
Now add a tsp or two of the red chutney over the dosa and spread again..Add a tblspn of butter on top and smear again..This will give more flavour..
Now let the dosa get crisp. Fold in half and serve.
You can serve as it is or add some potato masala on top and serve as mysore masala dosa.
