Mathsya which is on Halls Road in Chennai serves delicious Udipi food. S and I used to frequent the place earlier - it used to be the only restaurant open till 2am that was not a hotel coffee shop. One of my favourites at Mathsya (and there are many!) is the Kara Uppu Puli Dosai. Served hot with a dollop of butter... mmmm...! Here is my version of the dosai. I wonder why Mathsya didn't mention sweet (Sihi) in the name of the dish. The original recipe is with dosai batter without ulundhu (urad dal). I do not have patience to make (or instruct to make) two seperate batters! Try this one and let me know how it comes out.
Warning: I use my instinct (not always right) when it comes to the measurements. Good luck!
Ingredients:
Grated Coconut
Tamarind - a lime sized ball maybe
Dhania Seeds
Jaggery - to suit your sweet tooth
Jeera
Dried Red Chillies
Blend all the ingredients in the mixie and add to regular dosai batter. Serve hot!
