If you have ever been to Mysuru, you must have heard of the legendary dosa from Mylari Hotel. Unlike any other regular dosa, this soft dosa is thick, fluffy and spongy, making it extra unique and flavourful. Made with a well-fermented batter, it has a golden crust on the outside with a pillowy texture inside. Served with coconut chutney and mild vegetable sagu, the Mylari dosa is definitely a must-try.

2. Pesarattu Dosa

Straight from Andhra Pradesh, pesarattu is another form of dosa that is considered super healthy. It is a protein-packed green gram dosa which is made of moong dal, perfectly blended with ginger, green chillies and cumin. Topped with onions and served with upma or coconut chutney, pesarattu is both delicious and wholesome.

4. Neer Dosa

This dosa is known for its delicate and almost translucent texture. Neer dosa from coastal Karnataka is made with a thin rice batter that requires no fermentation.
