I and My friend Nayan on authentic dosa scavenging in Bangalore reached CTR or Hotel Sri Sagar early morning on our cycles and ordered Ghee Masala Dosa. At morning 7.00 am, the place was already beaming with customers. 

The order was attended bit slow compared to other places we reviewed (Vidyarthi Bhavan being the fastest).

Review of Ghee Masala Dosa – If you like your dosa crispy, then this is the one. The dosa made here was the crispiest among all dosa’s we had ate till now in Bangalore and also understood the delay in serving as the dosa takes more time on pan to make it that crispy. Taste was good and ghee in masala dosa was prominent. The side dishes like sambhar and coconut chutney were good but not upto mark as we expected. but Ghee Masala Dosa was ultimate.

Take care and Bye till next time.
