butter milk dosa
Dosa/Dose is a very popular dish in India. Dosa takes many avatars based on the region specially in Southern Indian states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Raw rice is the basic ingredient for most of the dosa types unless it is prepared with millets. Raw rice in combination with lentils/ cooked rice/ boiled rice/ beaten rice/puffed rice yields batter that imparts different/unique taste and texture to dosas. 

Majjige dosa  is a dosa  variant  prepared with rice and butter milk. Majjige dosa prepared either  sihi (sweet) with addition of jaggery or sada (bland) and is served with butter and chutney of choice.
