Bandale Dose

Bandale in Kannada means a round bottomed wok/pan.  The Dosa/pancake is prepared in these types of pans and hence the name.  It is also called as “Dodna” by South Canara residents.  I knew Doddappa/Uncle and Doddamma/Aunt but had never heard of “Dodna” until I got married to a South Canarean.  Maybe it is the Doddanna/elder brother of the plain Dosa ;) .  These Dosas/Pancakes are thick, spongy with crispy edges.

Time Required: 20 Minutes + Soaking Time + Fermenting Time
Serves: 4
