I got the idea of making this sandwich dosa after seeing our BM buddies shared some sandwich recipes without bread. So tried this dosa one day for evening snack for my son and he loved it.Immediately included this dosa in my list to share for this theme. I mashed the potatoes and used it here also used some grated panner.One can replace the paneer with cheese and make it a cheesey dosa.The addition of  mint chutney  gives a very nice taste and this dosa tastes good as such.No need of any extra side dish for this one.But I serve it with coconut chuney and some sweet and spicy sauce.Off to the recipe...........                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sandwich Dosa /Sandwich Masal

Today's recipe for Cooking Carnival for dosa with stuffing, is Kanchipuram masala dosa.I have shared a version of Kanchipuram Dosa  for this carnival for a different theme. But this dosa is with a colorful stuffing along with potato masala.

We are entering the 4th week fo Cooking Carnival in  Mega Blogging Marathon edition.For this week I am sharing the dosa recipes with stuffing/filling. For day 1 its one such, evergreen and classic recipe,Mysore Masala Dosa.Already I have shared a version of  masala dosa  here with the regular  dosa batter .But for  this version of  Mysore Masala Dosa,I prepared a separate dosa batter to get a nice golden color.I followed the recipe from Mrs.Mallika Badrinath's cook book with few alterations. Usually Mysore Masala dosa is on the thicker side and a spicy garlic chutney is applied on the dosa and filled with potato masala.As we prefer the crispy dosa,I made it slightly on the crisper side.Also butter can be used to cook the dosa.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Mysore Masal
