I totally agree with the thumb rule.

IMHO, you can enjoy your dosas at Carnatic Cafe in Delhi better if you
insist that the chef goes easy on the fat, too much ghee takes away the
real fun of it.  Btw, Kwality restaurant on Mall Road, Shimla had good
masala dosas (closer to the Bangalore style in how the dosa was made and
the taste of the potato palya/filling); though, I have not been there in a
few years now.

I think there is nothing controversial there. Bangalore dosas are fluffy on
the inside and crispy on the outside unlike Chennai style dosas which are
flat and crispy. Its only for this reason i like the dosas at Carnatic Cafe
in Delhi.

[Alok Singh]

Sunheri (Woodlands) restaurant on a crisp Sunday morning. Small crisp uddin
vades and doshas to remind you of your childhood.

Its easy to get carried away by comfort food and ambience has as much of a
impact as taste.

My thumb rule is: if a place advertises a Mysore Masala Dosa, then it's not
really a good dosa place. Case in point: sagar ratna in Delhi. (Good dosas
in Delhi are to be found in Carnatic cafe)
Also, this might be controversial -- there are two dosa schools, what I
call the Chennai school and the Bangalore school. The former includes dosas
that are larger in size but thinner. Sometimes they're flaky. The latter is
what you will find in Vidhyarthi Bhavan, CTR, etc.

+1 to Vidyarthi Bhavan. Had a dosa here in Melbourne just yesterday, it was
soggy and they FOLDED it. This place did have "mysore masala dosa"  on the
menu but I am unwilling to try it just to report back what they put in it.

Re: [silk] Mysore Masala Dosa in Bangalore

[Rajesh Mehar]

Dosa in Bangalore is like Biryani in Hyderabad, it gets way too many hot
and heavy opinions. So, careful of online 'foodies' communities.

Also, the 'traditional' masala Dosa has been altered to suit modern
economics more than anything else. Nowadays there is almost nil Urad dal in
most commercially produced dosas and I'm sure you've heard of the
ubiquitous use of baking soda to make the batter rise.

Having said all that, if I wanted to get a masala Dosa in Bangalore, I
would make the trek to Malleswaram and eat at CTR. If I'm in a hurry I will
eat at Ganesh Darshan dosa camp in Jayanagar 3rd Block. My maximum outer
radius would be to eat masala Dosa at MTR (which is decent but gets a lot
of slack online for some reason ) or the Cheese Masala Dosa at Shanti Sagar
in Koramangala near the BDA complex or Vidyarthi Bhavan in Gandhi Bazaar.

Any other dosa is usually like a Pizza Corner pizza. You know it is a Pizza
but are convinced it's not one.

[Biju Chacko]

When I worked in Bombay for a bit about 15 years ago, the difference seemed
to be that mysore masala dosa had mixed vegetables stuffing versus potato
only in the regular dosa. For the latter, refer Venkat's mail. The former
is an abomination which, I am glad to say, no reputed establishment in
Bangalore will deign to serve.

Re: [silk] Mysore Masala Dosa in Bangalore

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Easier – just where in Bangalore are you located?

Going to CTR / Veena Stores in Malleswaram might be a tall order if you’re out 
in Whitefield or the Outer Ring Road.

That said, there are dozens of little “99 varieties of dosa” places spread all 
over the city and you’ll get a tolerable masala dosa, certainly better than 
anything you’ll get in Bombay, at most any of them.   With so much butter 
slathered on, you had better kiss your arteries goodbye, but that’s another 
story.

Good dosas at

1. Central Tiffin Room, Malleswaram
2. Dosa camp, Jayanagar
3. Food street, V V Puram (no sitting)
and many many more places.
