Just to give an introduction about this dosa, particularly its name 'azhagar dosai'..It is most common prasadam(divine food) in vishnu temples in tamil nadu. In madurai (azhagar temple) & srirrangam (renganathar temple) this dosa is the famous one. hence the name 'azhagar' dosai. this dosa is normally very thick in form viz., two times the thickness of regular dosa but its very tasty..
i tried this dosa (thanks to foodie blog) and it came very well. i made addition of hing powder to the batter which gives nice aroma to dosa. also i made the size of dosa as similar to regular one..:) so dats the only difference from temple dosa..here goes the recipe..
