ABOUT Davangere Benne Dosa , Coconut Chutney, Potato Paalya, Poppy seeds / Khus Khus Payasa RECIPE

Most traditional breakfast from Davangere, a city from karnataka . Benne means butter in Kannada. Traditionally Benne dosa is served with Potato Paalya and Davangere style Coconut chutney . Potato Paalya served is normally bland in taste and that’s their style of eating . I have added Tadka to my Paalya as my family wouldn’t prefer eating a bland Paalya. That is the only change I have made and rest is all authentic . Khus Khus Payasa is one of the traditional desserts of Karnataka . The dessert is prepared during occasions and sacred ceremonies .
