Mysore Masala Dosa

As i said earlier being in bangalore for more than 3 year,i have not tasted any famous karnataka's food except rava idli in Adigas,but my hubby did. When ever i ask him wat shall i prepare for breakfast or dinner?(many of you might asked the same to ur hubby's),the reply was always same(do something) ,but when we go out for dinner,he will be very spaecific about wat he wants to eat(biriyani always or parota or mysore dosa). I had a mind voice (may be he likes mysore dosa very much)and thought of trying that to impress him,it came out very well. Instead of preparing the same dosa ,onion dosa,podi dosau can try this mysore dosa with tangy & sweet red chutney.

Actually i have given seperate dosa batter recipe here but its not mandatory , you can do this with daily dosa batter too(i do the same when i am lazy). 
Here is the Recipe of Mysore masala dosa from Dhivis Pantry. Try and let me know your comments...
