One might not know the varieties of dosas that are available to cater to various types of palates. Though the all time favourite is dosa with potato filling eaten with sambar and coconut chutney and onion chutney. There are also the set-dosa, rava or semolina dosa. There is a range of rice-based dishes as well that include chitranna (rice with lime juice, green chilli turmeric powder sprinkled with fried groundnuts and coriander leaves), vangibath (spiced rice with egg plant) and pulliyoigrae (rice falvoured with tamarind juice and garnished with groundnuts) are part of the traditional food of Mysore.
